Dimension

Dimension refers to the physical measurements of a parcel, typically including its length, width, and height. These dimensions are used to determine the size of the parcel and are crucial for calculating shipping rates, as many carriers use dimensional weight pricing, which takes into account both the weight and the size of the parcel.

Dimensional information helps carriers optimize space utilization in their transportation vehicles and ensures that parcels are appropriately handled and stacked during transit.
