In the complex world of e-commerce logistics, accuracy and trust are paramount. At FishGoo, we believe transparency in the repacking process is not just a feature—it's our commitment to our customers. Keeping detailed visual records of packaging and weight is a core practice that ensures accurate, verifiable shipping costs for every order.
The Challenge: "Black Box" Shipping Calculations
Many shipping processes are a mystery. Customers receive a final shipping cost without understanding how it was derived, especially after items are consolidated or repacked. Discrepancies between estimated and final weights can lead to confusion, unexpected charges, and eroded trust.
Our Solution: Visual Documentation at Every Step
FishGoo's system eliminates the guesswork. Here’s how we track weight and repacking details with full transparency:
1. Initial Item Reception & Photography
Upon receiving each item at our warehouse, we take high-resolution photographs from multiple angles. This documents the original condition and packaging of the product before any consolidation occurs.
2. Precise Weighing and Data Entry
Each individual item is weighed on calibrated scales. This weight is immediately logged into your dedicated order file within our system, creating the first verifiable data point.
3. The Repacking Process – Recorded
When consolidating multiple items into a single shipment, our packing team operates in a designated area with photo documentation. We capture:
- The empty box and all materials used.
- The arrangement of items before sealing.
- The final, sealed package with its shipping label.
4. Final Weighing & Cost Verification
The sealed package is weighed one final time. This is the actual shipping weight. Our system automatically calculates the shipping cost based on this precise weight and the selected carrier's rates. The initial item weights and the final package weight are displayed side-by-side for comparison.
5. Your Personal Logistics Dashboard
All this data—photographs of the original items and the final package, individual weights, final weight, and the calculated shipping cost—is uploaded to your secure online dashboard. You can review the entire packingslip journey before the shipment even leaves our facility.
