How To Calculate Cubic Metres (CBM) When Shipping.
To calculate the cubic meters (CBM) of your shipment, you need to measure the length, width, and height of the package in meters. Then, multiply these three values together to get the volume in cubic meters.
For example, if your package measures 1.5 meters in length, 1 meter in width, and 0.75 meters in height, the calculation would be: 1.5 meters x 1 meter x 0.75 meters = 1.125 cubic meters (CBM)It's important to note that when shipping goods, carriers often use the cubic meter measurement to calculate the shipping costs, so accurately calculating the CBM of your shipment is important to avoid overpaying for shipping.
