To measure ground packages use the following formula:
Length + 2x Width + 2x Height
Step 1. Determining Length
Step 2. Determining Girth (2x Width + 2x Height)
Step 3. Add the length and the girth together. This is your package measurement.
Step 4. Weigh the package to obtain its actual weight.
Measure boxes or containers that are not rectangular to determine the package measurements and whether the package is within maximum limits. Treat the irregularly shaped package as if it were in a regular rectangular box. Measure the length, width, and height of the package from its extreme points.
