Have you ever been surprised by a sudden spike in your LoongBuy shipping cost? Often, the culprit is an overweight parcel. Shipping fees can jump significantly when your package crosses a weight bracket threshold. Here are practical, smart strategies to pack efficiently, consolidate wisely, and check estimates diligently to keep your shipping costs predictable and under control.
1. Pack Smart: Minimize Volume and Weight
Lightweight items are your best friend. Remember, shipping costs are often calculated by volumetric weight (Dimensional Weight), which is (Length x Width x Height) / a specific divisor (e.g., 5000 or 6000). The carrier charges whichever is greater: the actual weight or the volumetric weight.
