Weight and cost fields
| Field | Definition |
|---|---|
| actualWeight | The measured warehouse parcel weight. |
| volumetricWeight | A dimensional estimate used by some routes. A common formula is length x width x height divided by a route-specific divisor. |
| billableWeight | The greater of actual weight and volumetric weight when the selected route applies dimensional billing. |
| landedCost | Item cost plus service fees, domestic shipping, international shipping, packaging options, payment costs, and any destination-side costs. |
Shipping examples
| # | Scenario | Actual weight | Dimensions | Volumetric example | Buyer decision | Risk note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One pair of shoes with box | 1.5 kg | 35 x 25 x 15 | 1.31 kg | Keeping the box may be acceptable if protection or resale value matters, but compare box removal before shipping. | Shoe boxes can increase volume and may limit cheaper routes. |
| 2 | One hoodie or sweater | 0.9 kg | 35 x 28 x 8 | 0.52 kg | Actual weight may matter more than volume for a single folded top. | Heavy fleece or multiple tops can quickly change parcel tier. |
| 3 | Mixed 5-item haul | 3.8 kg | 45 x 35 x 28 | 2.94 kg | Consolidation can improve value, but compare route restrictions and packaging before paying. | Adding one bulky item can change route eligibility or price tier. |
| 4 | Bulky jacket | 1.2 kg | 45 x 35 x 18 | 1.89 kg | Compressing or folding may reduce volume, but avoid packaging choices that damage shape or insulation. | Volumetric weight may exceed actual weight on bulky outerwear. |
Packaging and route checks
Packaging options

- Reinforcement can protect fragile or expensive items but may add weight and volume.
