Why Monitor Weight in Your Spreadsheet?
Hoobuy's warehouse team often repackages items to reduce volumetric weight
How to Track Weight Changes Effectively

Step 2: Record Initial Weights
Upon warehouse receipt, each item's weight is logged in the 'Weight (g)'

As the team repackages, the spreadsheet updates. Watch for changes in the weight column for individual items or the appearance of new 'Consolidated Package'

Step 4: Compare and Calculate Savings
Once the 'Ready to Ship' status appears, compare the final consolidated weight to the sum of original parcels. Use Hoobuy's freight calculator to estimate the cost difference.
