Shipping companies and airlines have been doing that as long as I remember, at least in the early 90's when I worked for them. It's called dimensional weight. Thats why it is important to use a box or shipping crate close to the size of the item being shipped.

Thats what they are looking for on the websites when they ask dimensions and then approximate weight.
