Ozon logistics rate calculation method

Ozon Logistics’ rate calculation method is based on the total length, width and height of the shipment. If the total (length + width + height) does not exceed a certain value, the shipping fee will be calculated based on the actual weight. After this value is exceeded, the carrier will calculate the freight based on the physical weight and dimensional weight of the goods, and choose the higher value for billing. Weight measurements are made in 100-gram increments, rounded up instead of down.
