How to Calculate Shipping Cost and Weight Automatically Before Final Payment
Navigating international shipping costs can be one of the most uncertain parts of shopping with agents like CSSBuy. The CSSBuy Spreadsheet
Create columns for the essential data points your shipping estimate requires. A basic structure looks like this:
| Item | Store/Link | Price (¥) | Quantity | Est. Weight (g) | Total Weight (g) | Domestic Shipping (¥) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sample Shoe | Example Link | 380.00 | 1 | 1200 | =Est. Weight * Quantity | 0.00 |
Formula in "Total Weight" cell: =E2*D2
Sum all item weights and add a buffer for packaging (e.g., box, filler). CSSBuy provides the actual weight and volumetric weight after rehearsal shipping, but you can estimate with a 10-15% buffer.
Formula Example:
=SUM(F2:F10) * 1.1 / 1000 // Sums total grams, adds 10% buffer, converts to Kg
Use CSSBuy's shipping estimator or known rates (e.g., $20 for first kg, $8 per additional kg for a specific line). The Basic IF Formula: Advanced VLOOKUP:VLOOKUP
IFVLOOKUP
=IF(TotalKg <= 1, 20, 20 + (TotalKg - 1) * 8)
Combine item costs, domestic shipping, and international freight.
Formula Example:
=SUM(C2:C10) + SUM(G2:G10) + EstimatedShippingCost
