page for "volumetric weight". This is not the first time I have heard
of this concept. Interestingly, 1 m � 1 m � 1m = 1 m3 gives 167 kg on
the DHL page.
Clearly an oxymoronic contradiction of terms; equating mass to volume
as if they are the same thing.
It appears that they are using "167 kg" as a coded term that simply
means 1 cubic metre. It surely would be easier just to call it 1 cubic
metre.
