Stop Paying To Ship Air (USPS Dim Weight Explained) | Unboxing Logistics Ep. 95

A 3-pound product in a 12x12x24 box now bills as roughly 25 pounds with USPS. That's the math behind the dim divisor drop to 139, and most shippers won't catch it until it shows up on invoices right before peak season.

Lori Boyer sits down with Doug Sill, President of bukuShip, to break down where the extra cost comes from and who has to fix it. The bill lands with accounts payable, but the fix sits with operations. Doug explains why ecommerce brands almost always know their product weights but rarely know their dimensions, why light and bulky shippers are most exposed, and how a box lineup built for simplicity can push shipping costs up 20% to 30% on packages just over one cubic foot.
