For example, if you place your package on the scale, the number you see is your package\u2019s actual weight. However, your package\u2019s DIM weight is actually based on the volume of your package aka the length x the width x the height.<strong> (Yes, we know it\u2019s confusing!)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With some services, the DIM weight of your package may be used instead of the actual weight of your package, including Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express. If the volume (length x width x height) of your package is less than 1,728,\u201d your package should be billed by the actual weight you see on the scale. If the volume of your package is over 1,728,\u201d you may be charged for the DIM weight of your package instead. The DIM weight of your package can be found by taking length x width x height, dividing it by 166, and rounding up to the nearest pound. <strong>Tl;dr the DIM weight is based on measurements while the actual weight of your package is the number you see on the scale when you weigh it.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"supplies\">Where can I find USPS supplies? \ud83d\udcbb<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>USPS offers <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/small-business-shipping-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free supplies<\/a> you can have shipped directly to your house or business over on their <a href=\"https:\/\/store.usps.com\/store\/results\/shipping-supplies\/_\/N-7d0v8v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>, so you can grab your free supplies while you\u2019re checking your email or listening to your favorite podcast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"account\">Where do I find USPS adjustments in my ShippingEasy account? \ud83e\udd14<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/usps-surcharge-changes-for-april-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USPS adjustments<\/a> are found by going <strong>Shipping &gt; One Balance &amp; Carriers &gt; View Online Reports &gt; Report Type &#8211; Transactions<\/strong>.
