What is cubic weight?

Cubic weight is also known as Dimensional Weight, and is a pricing technique for commercial freight transport which uses an estimated weight that is calculated from the length, width and height of a package.

Even though an item may only weigh 4kg, due to its size, it may be 15kg of cubic weight.
For example: A large duvet may be relatively light but large in size.
