Minor Weight Variance Now Waived Off for Slab Charging
🚀 What’s new?
Eshopbox uses weight slabs to calculate shipping charges (for example,
0–500 g, 500 g–1 kg
, and so on). Earlier, even a small increase beyond a slab—such as an order weighing 510 g
—would be charged under the next higher slab (1 kg)
.To address this, Eshopbox has introduced a
minor weight variance buffer.
If the weight crosses a slab boundary by up to 60 grams
, the slab change will be waived off
, and you will be charged using the lower slab
.🧪 Example
- Weight slab: 0–500 g
- Actual shipment weight: 510 g
- Difference: +10 g(within the 60 g buffer)
👉
Charged slab: 0–500 g (lower slab)
If the shipment weight exceeds the slab limit by
more than 60 g
(for example, 570 g
), the order will be charged under the next slab (1 kg)
.🎯 Benefits
- 💰 Reduced shipping cost impact:Minor weight variations no longer push orders into a higher charging slab.
- ⚖️ Fairer billing:Charges now better reflect realistic weight differences caused by packaging or scale variance.
- 📦 Fewer billing disputes:Reduces cases where small weight differences lead to unexpected higher charges.
- 👌 Better predictability:You get more consistent and predictable shipping costs.
