How to Measure the Longest and Shortest Side Correctly

• You can easily determine the correct size based on the longest and shortest side of your parcel or parcel using a tape measure or a folding rule.
• You simply measure the longest side and the shortest side of your parcel or parcel and add up the measured values.
• This calculated value is used to determine the price for shipping your shipment. The prices at Hermes are graded according to the given sizes.
• For example, if you have determined a value of 65 centimeters for both sides, this is a package in size "M". Here, too, the maximum total weight must not exceed 31.5 kilograms for national shipments.
• The current prices for a package of this size can be found in the link above.
• For shipping abroad, different prices and maximum weights apply. You should take these into account when specifying your shipping costs.
