Prices

All prices are in NOK excluding value-added tax, and prices are determined according to the shipping calculation weight of the parcel. The parcels are charged according to 5 price zones.

Shipping calculation weight

This weight is the weight by volume of the parcel or the actual weight of the parcel, whichever is the higher, and this is the figure to use when looking up the price of the parcel in the table below.

Weight by volume

Volume calculation is the transport industry’s way of converting a volume to a weight. To find the weight by volume, multiply the length by the width by the height. If the dimensions are in cm, the results are divided by 1000 to get dm3 (the volume of the parcel). The volume is then divided again by a set conversion factor of 5 (for Post Office Unit Goods, a conversion factor of 3.5 is applicable). A factor of 5 means that 1 m3 is 200 kg. All weights are rounded up to the nearest whole kilo. To find the price of the parcel, we use the freight calculation weight, which is the weight by volume or the actual weight, whichever is the higher.
