Bulky weight

Bulky weight refers to the overall size or volume of a package relative to its actual weight, often used in shipping and logistics. It considers how much space the item occupies, which can impact shipping costs regardless of its actual weight. For example, a large but lightweight item might be charged based on its bulky weight because it takes up more space in a delivery vehicle. Shipping providers use bulky weight calculations to ensure they account for both the weight and the size of packages when determining shipping fees, balancing the logical cargo size and the actual mass.
