Shipping weight converter
Convert package weight between pounds, ounces, kilograms and grams.
How it works
Shipping software and carriers in the US use pounds and ounces; international shipments and customs forms often need kilograms. One pound is 16 ounces or 453.6 grams; one kilogram is 2.2046 pounds.
Carriers round weight up: most round to the next whole pound, and some services price lighter packages by the ounce. Weigh the fully packed box, including fill and tape, on a calibrated scale.
Results are estimates based on typical industry values. Confirm final specifications with your supplier or carrier.
