Introduction To Shipping Weight
Shipping weight is the weight calculated as the PHYSICAL WEIGHT OR THE VOLUMETRIC WEIGHT of
a parcel, whichever is higher. This weight is then used to calculate your shipping fees
If one customer is ordering

multiple items from your
assortment, shipping fee will
be charged based on
following logic:
• Sum of Physical weights of

all items
• Sum of height of all items
• Max of width of all items
• Max of length of all items
• Then chargeable weight
from the same formula
Impact of Shipping Weight on Fees
► Customers will be charged based on the

physical or volumetric weight, whichever is
higher on Seller Center
How does this affect you?

►For all SKUs, an incorrect weight or dimension
can result in incorrect shipping fee charge to
customers
►Daraz will also periodically revise incorrect
weights and dimensions based on our alternate
weight sources
Shipping Weight Calculation
You will need the following tools to measure

your parcels:
• Weight (in kg): Weighing scale

• Dimension (height, length and width; in cm):
Measuring tape

width of your product after it has been packed
into a box/flyer
Use the correct Daraz Packaging to pack your items!
Using the box of the right size will ensure the lowest amount of shipping charges
Note: Refrain from using boxes that are too big for your product to avoid empty spaces inside.
Gently shake the box to make sure the items don’t move inside
