Info

You will have a "What's this?" link in where you can fin more information about how the system calculates this.

Why worry about box dimensions?

By entering the correct box dimensions the system will be able to accurately display this information (as well as the total cubes) in the Bill of Ladings. For customers that purchase items that go through Miami and are received at their facility in the US or Canada this can help control the freight charged by the carriers since you’ll be able to compare the billed cubes against your cube estimates from the Komet system. This will also help your customers to check their freight bills against your shipments.
