I'm not as dumb as I look

Because none of the converters I use could do it, I figured out on my own today how to convert cubic feet into dimensional weight in kilograms. In case you ever need to do that, take the amount of cubic feet, multiply by 1728, and divide by 366. I'm sure you'll all need to do this at some point or another.

Dimensional weight is a measure of the space something takes up, rather than how much it weighs. If you ship me a big box of cotton candy, you'll pay the same as you would a big box of concrete, because you're paying for the space it takes up instead of how much it actually weighs.

Speaking of cotton candy, did you know they call it "fairy floss" in Australia?
