Meesho me deadweight kya hota hai? Actual vs volumetric weight
4 June 20265 min readBy The ShipWorks team
Meesho me dead weight (actual weight)woh hota hai jo tumhara packed parcel scale pe tarta hai — grams mein. Shipping charge nikalne ke liye Meesho dead weight aur volumetric weight (box ke dimensions se nikla weight) dono compare karta hai, aur jo bhi zyada ho usi pe charge lagta hai.
Seedhi baat
Dead weight = scale wala asli weight. Volumetric = box ke size se nikla weight. Meesho max(dead, volumetric)pe charge karta hai — ise chargeable weight kehte hain. Jo bind kar raha ho usi ko kam karo, warna mehnat bekaar.
Dead weight matlab kya hai
Dead weight, jise actual weight bhi kehte hain, tumhare poore parcel ka physical weight hai — product + bubble wrap + box + tape, sab milake jo weighing scale dikhaata hai. Isi liye ek bhaari product (jaise steel ka saaman) ka dead weight chhote box mein bhi zyada hota hai.
Volumetric weight kya hota hai
Volumetric weight box ke size se nikalta hai, weight se nahi. India mein formula hai (Length × Width × Height in cm) ÷ 5000. Iska matlab ek bada par halka parcel (jaise takiya/cushion) truck mein zyada jagah ghera karta hai, isliye uska volumetric weight zyada nikalta hai.
Dead weight vs volumetric weight
| Point | Dead weight | Volumetric weight |
|---|---|---|
| Kis se nikalta | Scale (physical weight) | Box dimensions (L×W×H) |
| Kab zyada | Bhaari, dense product | Bada par halka product |
| Kam kaise | Halki packaging, kam filler | Chhota box, kam khaali jagah |
| Example | Steel bottle 700g | Cushion 30×30×30 cm, 200g |
Meesho shipping pe konsa weight charge hota hai
Meesho dono ko compare karke jo bhi zyada haiusi ko chargeable weight maanta hai. Agar tumhara dead weight 700g hai aur volumetric 400g, to charge 700g ke slab pe lagega. Aur agar box bada hai — volumetric 900g, dead 400g — to 900g pe lagega. Slab kaise kaam karte hain woh yahan dekho: Meesho shipping charges slab 2026.
Dead weight kam karne ke practical tips
- Zaroorat se bhaari box/filler hatao — halki packaging.
- Sahi size ka box lo — bada box dead aur volumetric dono badhata hai.
- Soft products ko box ki jagah strong polybag mein bhejo (jahan safe ho).
- Par product safety pehle— weight bachane ke chakkar mein damage/return ho gaya to woh isse bada loss hai.
