DIM Factor - enter the DIM Factor value used by the carrier you ship your products with to calculate the dimensional weight.
The dimensional weight, known also as DIM weight or volumetric weight in turn, reflects package density, which is the amount of space a package occupies in relation to its actual weight. It is calculated according to the following formula:
(Lenght x Width x Height) / DIM Factor = Dimensional weight
So the package volume obtained by multiplying its lenght by width and height is then divided by the DIM Factor used by the carrier giving the Dimensional weight as a result.
