📦 Shipping a 1kg parcel but being charged for 4kg? Here’s why.
It could all come down to volumetric weight.
Some carriers calculate shipping costs based on how much space your parcel takes up, rather than what it actually weighs.
And those extra charges can quickly eat into your profit margins. 💸
The good news? A few simple changes to your packaging could make a big difference.
Shipping to the USA?
