## About
Enter the size of one product, how many go in a parcel, and the boxes you have. The calculator tries every orientation and arrangement, shows which boxes fit, how full they are, and works out volumetric weight with your courier's divisor (commonly 5000 for cm). The chargeable weight is the greater of actual and volumetric weight. It packs identical items in a regular grid, so real packing with irregular items may differ.

## How to use
1. Paste or type your input into the box above.
2. Choose any options you need. Results update as you type.
3. Copy the result with the Copy button.

## FAQ
**What is volumetric weight?** Couriers charge for the larger of a parcel's actual weight and its volumetric weight, which is length x width x height divided by a courier-specific number (often 5000 for centimetres).

**Does it handle mixed products?** Not yet. It packs identical items in a grid. For mixed orders, run the largest item first and leave generous padding.

**Is the Shipping Box Selector and Volumetric Weight Calculator free?** Yes, with no sign-up or limits.
