How GeeseNest Calculates Your Final Shipping Fee
At GeeseNest, we calculate the final shipping fee based on the actual weight of your package after it has been packed. There are two important factors you should understand:
- Actual Weight: This refers to the total weight of your parcel after it’s been packed and reweighed.
- Volumetric Weight: This is calculated based on the size of your parcel. It’s commonly calculated as:
Volumetric Weight = (Length × Width × Height) / Dimensional Factor
Most Chinese logistics companies, including GeeseNest, will compare these two values and charge based on whichever is greater.
Are There Any Hidden Fees?
We keep things transparent. The only additional charges may come from large package handling fees, and those will always be communicated to you before shipping.
For small packages, you won’t need to worry—no extra fees are applied.
Final Shipping Cost Formula
To summarize, the final shipping fee with GeeseNest is calculated as follows:
Final Shipping Cost = Max(Actual Weight, Volumetric Weight) + Any Applicable Extra Fees
