LoongBuy: How to Understand Weight Estimation and Price Brackets
2025-11-07
At LoongBuy, we calculate shipping costs using a structured weight category system. This guide will help you understand how our bracket pricing works, how to optimize your purchases, and avoid unexpected charges.
1. How Weight Brackets Work
LoongBuy groups shipments into weight categories (e.g., 0-500g, 501-1000g, 1001-2000g). Each bracket has a fixed shipping rate. For example:
- 0-500g:
- 501-1000g:
- 1001-2000g:
- 501-1000g:
Once your package weight exceeds a bracket's limit, you move to the next higher cost category.
2. How to Avoid Extra Charges
- Consolidate Wisely:
- Check Product Weight:
- Remove Unnecessary Packaging:
- Check Product Weight:
3. Plan for the Best Weight-to-Cost Ratio
Maximize value by staying just below a bracket’s upper limit. For example:
- Aim for 499g
- Add small, lightweight items to utilize remaining weight capacity.
