What are the medium carton dimensions to Syria?

60×40×40 cm with a 15 kg limit, about 0.1 cubic metres in the table.

How many shoeboxes fit a medium carton?

For a typical 33×21×12 cm box, about 8 to 9 in practice, so measure yours.

Should I calculate by weight or volume?

By volume for light, bulky items such as pillows and coats, and by weight for heavy, small ones such as books and ceramics.

What Fits a Medium or Large Carton to Syria

The medium carton to Syria holds about 96 litres (60×40×40 cm) and up to 15 kg, and the large holds 200 litres (80×50×50 cm) and up to 30 kg. Multiply length by width by height and compare: light, bulky items fill the carton before its weight limit, while heavy, small items reach the weight limit before the carton is full.

The published dimensions in numbers

MarkaShip’s Syria table lists two cartons: a medium one at 60×40×40 cm with a 15 kg limit, and a large one at 80×50×50 cm with a 30 kg limit. The medium works out at 96,000 cubic centimetres, about 0.096 cubic metres, shown as roughly 0.1 in the table, and the large at 200,000 cubic centimetres or 0.2 cubic metres. These are figures to measure against, not a promise that anything forced in is accepted.

How to work out your item’s volume

Measure the length, width and height of the piece in its box, not the bare piece, then multiply the three. A typical men’s shoebox of about 33×21×12 cm gives roughly 8,300 cubic centimetres, so a medium carton holds about 11 in theory and 8 to 9 in practice after padding and lost corners. Measure your actual box because shoeboxes vary, and leave a margin because objects never stack without gaps.

Examples from the published prices

Assuming eight shoeboxes in a medium carton: to Aleppo ($15) that is about $1.9 a box, to Homs ($17) about $2.1 and to Damascus ($20) about $2.5. The large carton holds roughly double, so 17 boxes to Damascus ($25) brings it down to about $1.5 a box. These are table prices divided by an assumed count, not a confirmed price for your shipment.

Light and bulky versus heavy and small

Pillows, covers and winter coats fill a carton by volume while staying far from the weight limit, so calculate them by volume. Books, ceramics and personal-care bottles reach 15 kg without filling the carton, so calculate them by weight, and do not pack gaps with heavy pieces that break the limit. If unsure, ask the team for the weight of the order that has reached the warehouse before choosing the carton. Published rates are reference rates excluding customs, and are confirmed per shipment once the contents and destination are known.
