Sugargoo: How to Track Parcel Weight Changes During Repacking
Repacking is a valuable service offered by Sugargoo to help optimize your parcels for international shipping, often aiming to reduce volume and save you money. However, since shipping costs are directly calculated based on the final parcel weight, it's crucial to understand exactly how repacking affects your parcel's weight—and consequently, your final bill. This guide will show you how to easily track these changes using the powerful tool at your disposal: the Sugargoo Spreadsheet.
The Importance of Monitoring Weight After Repacking
When you request repacking, the warehouse team will remove unnecessary retail boxes and excess packaging from your items. While this often reduces volumetric weight, the actual physical weight can sometimes change in unexpected ways:
- Successful Reduction:
- Potential Increase:
Tracking the weight from the original purchase to the final parcel stage ensures there are no surprises when you go to pay for shipping. By keeping an eye on the spreadsheet, you can make informed decisions about your shipping strategy and stay within your budget.
