Real Math Calculation Examples

Let’s say you have a package weighing 15kg and measuring 130cm x 10cm x 10cm. Here’s how you would calculate the cost for air freight consolidation to the West Coast (Zip 8-9):

Volume = 130cm x 10cm x 10cm = 1300 cm³

Volume Ratio = 1300 cm³ / 6000 = 0.217

Weight = 15kg

Total Volume Weight = 0.217 x 15kg = 3.255kg

Cost = 3.255kg x ¥65/kg = ¥209.175

Remember, this is just an example, and actual costs may vary.
