Master Your Shipping Costs: A Guide to Sugargoo's Repacking Service
Shipping internationally, especially items like clothes, shoes, or collections from your favorite shopping sites, can be surprisingly expensive. Often, the culprit isn't the physical weight of your items, but their volumetric weight. Sugargoo's smart repacking service is specifically designed to tackle this issue head-on, putting you in control of your shipping fees.
Why is My Shipping Cost So High? The Volumetric Weight Problem
Couriers charge based on whichever weight is greater: the actual weight or the volumetric weight. Volumetric weight (or dimensional weight) is calculated based on the size of your package:
Formula: (Length x Width x Height) / Volumetric Divisor
If your items arrive at the Sugargoo warehouse in large, bulky boxes full of air, you are essentially paying to ship empty space. Repacking is the secret weapon to solve this.
