Add a new custom package size
One of the most useful features in the App is the ability to add custom package sizes, ensuring accurate shipping quotes and optimised logistics for your products.
Why Custom Package Sizes Matter
Each shipment’s cost depends heavily on package dimensions and weight. Emirates calculates shipping charges based on either actual weight or volumetric weight, whichever is greater. That’s why having accurate box sizes is crucial — it prevents under-quoting at checkout and ensures smooth shipping.
