Dear customers, great news!
Starting from October 1, for all shipments from the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Italy, and Romania, BayShop will apply a new volumetric weight calculation formula — the volume will be divided by 8000 instead of 6000, as commonly used in international logistics.
This automatically reduces the volumetric weight and makes delivery cheaper for bulky parcels.
Important: Under normal conditions, 96% of all BayShop parcels are not charged by volume, as they do not exceed the set limits.
Volumetric weight applies only in two cases:
• if one of the sides exceeds 1 meter, or
• if the volumetric weight is more than 3 times greater than the actual weight of the parcel.
Examples of parcels that may be considered volumetric:
radiator grilles, bumpers (front and rear), doors, fenders, and other car body parts — they take up a lot of space but weigh little, which is why they are calculated by volume.
Example:
Parcel size: 50 × 50 × 50 cm
Volume = 50 × 50 × 50 = 125,000 cm³
• Old formula (/6000): 125,000 ÷ 6000 = 20.83 kg
• New formula (/8000): 125,000 ÷ 8000 = 15.63 kg
Savings: around 25% of volumetric weight — this is an automatic discount that all BayShop customers now receive!
With BayShop, delivery from Europe will become even more cost-effective — starting October 1!
