DIMENSIONS-ON-THE-WAY (D-O-W) (Shape Based Rating)

The shape of a mail piece (thickness, length, width) plays a large role in the pricing of mail. Many Postal Authorities use shape combined with weight to better align prices with processing costs.

The ability to rate mail based on weight and shape is available on systems with the WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®)/DIMENSIONS-ON-THE-WAY (D-O-W) (Shape Based Rating) module.

This module has the ability to weigh and measure shape for each mail piece whilst the system is running.
