Common Questions About Shipping Cost Estimation

1.Why is the shipping cost so high even though the items I purchased are not large?

Dear user, each item is individually packaged before being consolidated into one shipment. According to international shipping rules and logistics company requirements, there is a minimum shipping cost for each individual item when transported separately. This means that each item incurs its own shipping fee, making the shipping costs difficult to bear. To help you save on shipping fees, Fyoubuy provides a consolidation service that our warehouse combines your multiple items into one package, which reducing the shipping cost for you.

Therefore, Fyoubuy suggests that when purchasing multiple items, you can wait until they all arrive at the Fyoubuy warehouse and then choose “Submit Shipment,” which will save you a lot on shipping costs. How to submit a shipment request?

3.What is dimensional weight?

Dimensional weight refers to the possibility that the shipping cost may be calculated based on the space the package occupies rather than its actual weight. In international shipping, the higher value between dimensional weight and actual weight is used as the basis for calculating the shipping cost.

The formula for calculating dimensional weight is:

For air transportation: Dimensional weight (kg) = length x height x width (cm) / 6000;

For sea transportation: Dimensional weight (kg) = length x height x width (cm) / 6000.

Please note that the weight displayed on the seller’s webpage is usually the actual weight. You need to pay special attention to the size of large items, such as soft toys, plastic toys, diapers, pillows, chairs, crystal lamps, bicycles, etc. Sometimes, the shipping cost may even be higher than the value of the product itself. We recommend that you directly confirm the size with the seller or seek our help.

4.What is first weight and additional weight?

First weight refers to the minimum chargeable weight, and the cost for packages within the first weight range is calculated based on the first weight price.

Additional weight refers to the weight over the first weight limit.

5.What should I do if my package exceeds the weight limit I submitted?

Each route has a weight limit, and if the goods exceed the weight limit, you will be prompted that the package cannot be submitted. You need to remove some items and submit them for shipping in multiple batches.
