3. Weight Handling (Shipping) & Collection Fees
Shipping fees are computed dynamically based on the package weight (the higher of actual gross weight or volumetric dimensional weight) and geographical shipping zones.
Length (cm) × Width (cm) × Height (cm) ÷ 5,000Example: A parcel weighing 500g with dimensions 12 × 12 × 25 cm has a volumetric weight of 0.72 kg and will be billed under the 1 kg slab.
