Volumed Freight

Parcels are normally despatched with the actual weight of the parcel being recorded. However for light but large parcels a volumised weight has to be calculated and both actual and volumised weights entered on the manifest. The volumising formula is as follows:-

Height (cm’s) x Breadth (cm’s) x Length (cm’s) divided by 6000. International and Irish consignments are divided by 4000. (e.g. A box which measures 60cm x 60cm x 60cm will cube out at 36 kilos and will be charged accordingly)

Freight analyser equipment checks the weight and dimensions of each consignment by volumetrically scanning each parcel through a 3D laser scanner. The rules regarding overweight and volumised freight are now rigorously applied.

Hazard Diamond Stickers

The APC network does not accept consignments which carry Dangerous Goods or Substances and this is declared in our conditions of carriage.
