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
Remember to measure the height, weight and
width of your product after it has been packed
into a box/flyer
Shipping Weight Calculation
Use the correct Daraz Packaging to pack your items!
Using the box of the right size will ensure the lowest amount of shipping charges

Gently shake the box to make sure the items don’t move inside
