FedEx Dimensional Weight Calculations

  • Express
    Dimensional weight is calculated by multiplying the length by width by height of each package in inches and dividing the total by 166 (for shipments within the U.S. and shipments between the U.S. and Puerto Rico) or 139 (for U.S. export and U.S. import-rated international shipments). If the dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight, charges may be assessed based on the dimensional weight. Dimensions of one-half inch or greater are rounded up to the next whole number; dimensions less than one-half inch are rounded down. The final calculation is rounded up to the next whole pound. Dimensional weight applies per package or per shipment to all FedEx Express U.S. shipments in customer packaging, and per shipment to all international shipments and U.S.-to-Puerto Rico shipments in customer packaging. Shipments in FedEx packaging may be subject to dimensional-weight pricing.
  • Ground
    Dimensional weight may apply to FedEx Ground packages that are 3 cubic feet (5,184 cubic inches) or larger. Multiply the length by width by height of each package in inches. If the total is 5,184 or greater, calculate dimensional weight by dividing by 166 (for shipments within the U.S.) or 139 (for shipments to Canada). If the dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight, charges may be assessed based on the dimensional weight. If the chargeable weight exceeds 150 lbs., a prorated per-pound rate will be used. Dimensions of one-half inch or greater are rounded up to the next whole number; dimensions less than one-half inch are rounded down. The final calculation is rounded up to the next whole pound. If the package measures less than 5,184 cubic inches, dimensional weight does not apply and charges will be assessed based on actual weight.
