Why Tracking Weight Changes Matters
Hoobuy's warehouse team often performs a valuable service: repacking. They remove excess retail packaging, combine items from multiple orders into a single, more efficient box, or use lighter packaging materials. This reduces volumetric weight, leading to lower final freight charges. However, to verify these savings and ensure accuracy, you need a clear trail.

Step-by-Step: Monitoring in Your Spreadsheet
Step 1: Understand the Data Columns
Your Hoobuy Spreadsheet typically includes crucial columns for weight tracking:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Product Weight | The initial weight of each item as purchased. |
| Warehouse Weight | The weight recorded by Hoobuy upon receiving the item at their warehouse. |
| Packed Weight | The critical metric. |
Step 2: Spot the Repacking Signature
Look for these patterns in your spreadsheet data:
- Weight Reduction:"Packed Weight"lower"Warehouse Weight."
- Consolidation Effect:"Packed Weights,""Warehouse Weights"
Step 3: Calculate and Compare
Create a simple calculation:
1. Sum the "Warehouse Weight"
2. Sum the "Packed Weight"
3. The difference is your weight saving (or gain).
This calculated final weight should closely match the billable weight
