Before you send
Measure the packed parcel.
Volumetric weight (kg) = length × width × height in cm ÷ 5000. Chargeable weight uses the higher of actual and volumetric weight, rounded to the nearest whole kg, with 0.5 rounding up and a 1 kg minimum.
For example, a 50 × 40 × 30 cm parcel has a volumetric weight of 12 kg. If it weighs 5 kg on the scale, its chargeable weight is 12 kg. Your invoice also reflects the route charges explained above.

Can you move business stock or larger loads?
Yes. Contact SwiftPath with the goods, quantity, value, packed dimensions, collection point and delivery location. Pallets, equipment and full loads need an individual transport quote rather than assuming the parcel rate applies.
