Sounds like dimensional weight rates will apply to your items and why they would be considered oversized with Canadapost. Specifications attached for Canadapost. Calculator attached for UPS/Fedex. Note: Density factor varies ground vs air.
Canadapost:
The formula we use to calculate the volumetric equivalent of the item's actual weight is:
Cubic volume ÷ density factor = volumetric equivalent actual weight.
The density factor is a number that reflects the fact that items weighing a certain amount are generally of a certain size or volume:
- We apply a density factor of 5,000 (when measuring in cubic centimetres) or 139 (when measuring in cubic inches) to Priority, Xpresspost and Expedited services, as well as all U.S. and international services (excluding Tracked Packet and Small Packet)
- We apply a density factor of 6,000 (when measuring in cubic centimetres) or 166 (when measuring in cubic inches) for the Regular Parcel service
UPS/Fedex:
Multiply the package length by the width by the height. The result is the cubic size in inches or centimetres. Divide the cubic size by 139 if measured in inches, or by 5,000 if measured in centimetres, to determine dimensional weight.
