Understanding how LoongBuy calculates shipping costs is key to managing your international shipping expenses effectively. Our system uses a weight bracket pricing
How Bracket Pricing Works
Instead of charging per gram, shipping costs are grouped into weight categories (or brackets). The price is determined by the bracket your package's total weight falls into.
Example Weight Brackets & Prices
| Weight Bracket (kg) | Shipping Cost (USD) |
|---|---|
| 0.00 - 0.50 kg | $10.00 |
| 0.51 - 1.00 kg | $15.00 |
| 1.01 - 2.00 kg | $22.00 |
| 2.01 - 3.00 kg | $28.00 |
Critical Rule:Every gram over a bracket limit can trigger a significant price increase.
