The short answer is because FedEx & UPS are now charging "Dimensional weight shipping" for all ground shipments. This causes a box with an actual weight of 10 lbs to have shipping charged as if the box weighed 23 or more. Our Gum-paste Flowers are very light in weight however are safely packaged which leads to the boxes being large in volume. These items do not weigh a lot but the items are large & they take up a lot of space. "Dimensional Weight Shipping" calculates space rather than weight. Also for our customers who order Gum-paste Flowers along with FondX Fondant have their items shipped in separate boxes as a safety measure to ensure the items ordered arrive safely.
Dimensional weight is the weight of a package based on its size rather than "actual weight". UPS and FedEx are implementing dim weight pricing in 2015 for their ground-based services and the heavier of actual weight or dim weight will be used to price packages.
To calculate, you will first determine the package dimensions in inches. For each package dimension, measure at the longest point, rounding each measurement to the nearest whole number (for example, 9.00 to 9.49 will be considered 9, and 9.50 to 9.99 will be considered 10).
Then, multiply the package length by the width by the height and divide by 166 (139 for packages headed to Canada). The result is the dimensional weight. For those services where dimensional weight is relevant, take the greater of this calculation or the actual, scale based weight to calculate the shipping cost.
They want to be paid for the space that is occupied on their trucks and planes for big, lightweight packages.
