Hi everyone

I spent a fair bit of time yesterday trying to measure up some of my possessions for shipping. Using a tape measure I tried to work out the length, depth and height of stuff in inches. Now when I multiplied everything together and divided it by 12"x12"x12" (for a cubic foot - is that logical!) the result was something like 37k cubic feet. Now that is just wrong cos I am only shipping stuff like cds, records, dvd system, a couple of flat pack tables etc.

Does anyone know how I can work or the cubif feet of my shipment if I have measured everything in inches?

Carol Voderman - can you help me?

Cheers

X your inches to get the total then divide by 1728

Shouldn't you be using metric measurements?

Our shipment was 10.82m³.

How you do it like this length x width x depth,

So for a length of 12inches will be one foot x a width of 18 inches wil lbe 1.5 ft
and a depth of 24 inches will be 2 foot.

1 x 1.5 x 2 = 3 cubic feet

Or you can go onto www.excess-baggage.com which has a online estimator in their removals section.

I found it a bit tricky to know how many of each box I'd need, and worked it out at 300 cu ft. The esimator from Excess called and made it 270 cu ft, So I reckon it was quite useful.

That's what I thought, but the answer was something like 37k feet which is ridiculous....I'll have another go.

I have got Crown coming out in 3 weeks so they'll tell me once and for all.
