To calculate the girth of a package, follow these guidelines:
- Measure the three parcel dimensions in centimetres.
Example: 30 cm (Length) x 20 cm (Width) x 10 cm (Height).
- Add the measurements of the two smallest dimensions together. Multiply the result by two. This is the girth of your package.
Example: 20 cm (Width) + 10 cm (Height) = 30 cm. 30 cm x 2 = 60 cm (Girth).
- Now simply take the longest dimension and add this to the package girth. The result is the combined length and girth of your parcel.
Example: 30 cm (Length) + 60 cm (Girth) = 90 cm (Combined Length and Girth)
