Ensure Accurate Pricing with TLI's Free Shipping Calculators

May 05, 2023

The importance of density calculators

As a shipper, it's important to properly classify your shipments in order to ensure accurate pricing and avoid unexpected fees, and cubic capacity surcharge surprises. At TLI, we understand the challenges that come with this process, which is why we offer free density calculator tools on our website to help shippers & carriers calculate weight density and air freight volume.


Our free weight density calculator allows you to quickly and easily determine the weight per cubic foot of your shipment. This information is crucial for carriers to accurately calculate shipping rates, as charges are often based on the space occupied by your goods rather than their actual weight. By using our calculator, you can ensure that you're providing accurate information to carriers and avoid any discrepancies between the quoted rate and the final invoice.


In addition to our weight density calculator, we also offer a free air freight volume calculator. This tool helps you determine the total volume of your shipment, which is essential for air freight transport. Air carriers use the volume of your goods to determine the amount of space your shipment will occupy on the aircraft, and pricing is typically based on this volume weight rather than the actual weight of your goods. With our calculator, you can easily determine the volume of your shipment and ensure that you're being charged correctly.


By using our free weight density and air freight volume calculators, you can be confident that you're providing accurate information to carriers and avoiding unexpected fees. At TLI, we're committed to making the shipping process as smooth and hassle-free as possible. Visit our website today to access these free tools and start optimizing your shipping process.

Proper classification of shipments is not only important for accurate pricing, but it also plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of your goods during transportation. Shipping carriers have strict regulations on the transportation of certain goods and materials, and misclassification can result in fines, delays, and even damage to your goods.


Using our free weight density and air freight volume calculators is a simple and effective way to ensure that your shipments are classified correctly. By providing accurate information to carriers, you can avoid delays and ensure that your goods are transported safely and efficiently.


At TLI, we understand that every shipment is unique, and our free calculators are designed to accommodate a wide range of goods and materials. Our weight density calculator can handle everything from bulky furniture to delicate electronics, and our air freight volume calculator can handle goods of any shape or size.
