GuideDimensional weight — claim mapBack to article
Billable weight = greater of actual vs DIM. Filter the claim. Distinct from landed COGS. We invent no divisor chip.
| Claim | Reality | Do | Do not |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scale weight is always what you pay | No. Carriers usually bill the greater of actual vs DIM | Compute DIM with this contract’s divisor; take the greater | Paste scale-only into contribution |
| DIM divisor is a universal public chip | No. We invent none. Read this carrier / contract | Written divisor and rounding for this lane | Paste a forum DIM divisor into freight |
| This map is landed COGS | No. Landed COGS stacks product cost. This map is billable weight | N/A — open landed-cogs for unit cost | Skip DIM because COGS is typed |
| Residential surcharge is the same as DIM | No. Residential is an accessorial. DIM is weight math | Name the accessorial separately on the invoice | Fold residential into the DIM divisor |
| Average multi-box weights into one billable | No. Each carton has its own billable weight | Price each box; open split-shipment-cs for tracking | Invent one weight for a split order |
| Amazon FBA fee myths are my DTC DIM | No. FBA is Amazon’s fee stack. This is your parcel contract | N/A — open amazon-fba-fee-waterfall for FBA lines | Paste FBA dimensional myths onto DTC labels |
Filter the claim. Billable weight is the greater of actual and dimensional. We invent no divisor chip.
