Previously, DIM weight was only applied to parcels being shipped to Zones 5-9. Reducing your package size and making sure you have efficient packaging can prevent overpaying on shipping.ĭIM weight will also be applied to all zones for Priority Mail parcels over 1 cubic foot. The dimensional weight (DIM weight) divisor will change from 194 to 166.Ĭhanging the divisor to a smaller number means a higher weight per cubic foot will be applied - effectively increasing costs if your shipment is under the dimensional weight.
