Info on Maxi:

Maxi refers to parcels that exceed the DPD standard parcel dimensions. As long as the parcels are within the DPD transport limits, we will transport them, but will charge for the additional ‘Maxi’ service.

Volume weight

Air freight is billed on the basis of volume weight if this exceeds the actual weight in kilograms. The volumetric weight indicates how much space a parcel takes up in relation to its weight and is calculated according to the TACT Rules of the IATA (International Air Transport Association) using the following formula:

Formula: Length x width x height in cm / 4'000
