It is true, that is how it is done.
You have a box to ship and its actual weight is 4 kg.
Measure the box, l x w x h (m) and times that by 250, that is what the volumetric weight is. if this calc comes out as 6.5 kg, they will round it up and charge you 7 kg. if the volumetric calc comes out to 1 kg, they will charge you the actual weight of 4kg.
you get charged whatever is higher, actual or volumetric.
