UPS Daily vs Retail Rates
The divisor depends on the UPS rate type.
| Rate type | Published DIM divisor | 20 × 16 × 12 in example |
|---|---|---|
| UPS Daily Rates | 139 | 27.63 lb before UPS rounding |
| UPS Retail Rates | 166 | 23.13 lb before UPS rounding |
UPS states dimensional weight may apply to domestic and international package services and that the divisor varies by rate type. Follow the current UPS measurement and billable-weight rules for the actual shipment.
