Proper packaging is essential to protect your shipment
You can choose to pack and label your shipment yourself, or let us handle it for you.
Use a strong cardboard box with enough cushioning to protect the contents, and make sure it’s clearly labelled.
XPress Packaging Materials
XPress offers a range of envelopes and boxes in different sizes and materials. You can also order labels for use with XPress shipments.
Standard XPress and XPress Economy Limits

Weight and Size Calculation
The calculation of price is based on volume weight if it exceeds the actual weight of your shipment.
Calculation of volume weight:
- Multiply length, width and height of a package (in centimetres).
- Add the volumes of several individual parcels of a shipment to get the total volume of the shipment.
- To calculate the volume weight (in kilograms), divide the volume of the shipment by the factor tendered in our quote. Any intermediate results must be rounded up.
