How do I know roughly shipping price before my goods are at your warehouse?
Ask your supplier for actual weight and volume weight. To calculate actual weight price the formula is👇 Actual weight×price per kg÷rate of yuan to USD on the day. E.G goods weigh 1kg,price for shipping on the day is 67RMB,rate on the day is 6.0 RMB/USD. 1kg×67RMB/kg will be 67rmb ÷6.0RMB/USD=$11.17 USD is your shipping amount. Shipping amount in rmb or usd cash [However take note this is an example. Prices flactuate you need to know correct price and rate on the day of calculation. Also consider that if your goods have more volume weight than actual weight you will pay more than actual weight.] Sea Shipping charges please contact our customer services
