QUOTE(jd66921 @ Aug 7 2006, 08:59 AM) QUOTE(tdgray @ Aug 7 2006, 09:50 AM) No offense to the asker but... That has to be one of the strangest questions ever posted on this board (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Geoff is asking because he is charged $78 per cu meter to get his car off the ship in OZ! Customs..... We calculated 6.7 cu meter, but did not allow for the curve of the windshield, air under the car, etc. Just trying to save him a few bucks, they get too much as is!! Jeff Shipping cube is just the length at the longest point times the width at the widest times the height at the highest. There's no allowance for under the car, curved windshield, etc. You might be able to get away with giving them a "shortened up" measurement like that, but you'll really just be getting away wit5h it. The real calculation is really the standard overall LxWxH, just like they do it down at the airline checkin counter or at the UPS office. |

I figure the cube to be about 8 cu/metres,they will be measuring it apparently. Strictly speaking the volume is around 6.5 cu/metres.At one stage shipping people were trying to say 11 cu/metres. Thanks Paul.

Let me help with some dimensions which are extremely accurate. The front trunk is about four large bags of ice and three cases of caned beer, The rear trunk is two large bages of ice and two cases of beer. You can also stack three cases of beer on the passenged seat.
