Unexpected shipping costs can disrupt your budget. The key to avoiding these surprises is an accurate weight estimate before

Why Accurate Weight Estimation Matters

Shipping fees are calculated primarily based on dimensional weightactual weight—whichever is greater. An incorrect estimate can lead to:

  • Cost Overage:
  • Budget Strain:
  • Processing Delays:

Taking a few minutes to estimate correctly ensures a smooth, predictable shipping experience.

Step 1: Gather Accurate Product Measurements

Start with the product details from your seller or retailer. You will need:

  • Product Dimensions:
  • Product Net Weight:

Pro Tip:

Step 2: Calculate the Packaged (Gross) Weight

Items are never shipped alone. You must account for additional materials. Use this simple formula:

Gross Weight = Net Weight + Packaging Weight

Packaging Weight

Step 3: Factor in Consolidation (If Applicable)

If you're shipping multiple items together via ACBuy's Parcel Consolidation

  1. Add together the gross weights
  2. Estimate the size of a single, larger box that can hold all items. Combine dimensions or use ACBuy's consolidation preview tool.
  3. Remember, the warehouse will use one outer box, saving weight from multiple smaller boxes but increasing dimensional weight based on the new total size.

Step 4: Use the ACBuy Shipping Fee Estimator

Now, apply your calculations within ACBuy's platform for the final quote.

  1. Navigate to the "Shipping Calculator""Get a Quote"
  2. Input your parcel's destination country and destination postal code.
  3. Enter your calculated packaged dimensionsestimated gross weight.
  4. Select your preferred carrier (e.g., DHL, FedEx, EMS). The tool will instantly display a fee range.

Key Advice:up

Final Checklist Before You Pay
