The Crucial Difference: Actual Weight vs. Volumetric Weight

Before diving into the lists, let’s clarify the single most important factor that influences your bill:

• Actual Weight: This is the physical weight of your item measured on a scale (e.g., a pair of jeans weighs 0.6 kg).
• Volumetric Weight (Dimensional Weight): This is based on the size (volume) of the box your item ships in. Carriers charge based on the greater of these two weights.

This is why a light, puffy winter jacket (low actual weight) can cost more to ship than a stack of books (high actual weight)—the jacket takes up more space!

Understanding Winter vs. Summer Apparel

When calculating costs, pay special attention to seasonal items. While a pair of jeans has a high actual weight, it’s easily compressible. In contrast, winter coats and puffer jackets are dangerous for shipping budgets because their bulk pushes the volumetric weight far higher than their actual weight.

• Puffer Winter Coat Estimate: 1.5 kg Actual Weight but 3.6+ kg Volumetric Weight in a shipping box!

How Take&Ship Calculates Shipping Weight

Take&Ship shipping fees are based on actual weight or volumetric (dimensional) weight, whichever is higher.

• Actual weight = the real weight of the item
• Volumetric weight = (Length × Width × Height) / Courier Factor

This weight list helps you estimate before your shipment arrives at our warehouse.

Tips to Reduce Shipping Costs

• 🧹 Remove heavy shoe boxes
• 👕 Combine multiple items in one package
• 📦 Choose lighter fabrics
• 🔍 Check volumetric weight for bulky items
