At LoongBuy, we calculate shipping costs using a straightforward weight-based pricing system. This guide will help you understand how our bracket pricing works, how to avoid unexpected charges, and how to optimize your purchases for the best value.
How LoongBuy's Shipping Cost Categories Work
Instead of charging per exact gram, we group items into weight brackets (e.g., 0-200g, 201-500g, 501-1000g). Your shipping cost is determined by which bracket your package's total weight falls into.
| Weight Bracket | Shipping Cost |
|---|---|
| 0 - 200g | $5.99 |
| 201 - 500g | $9.99 |
| 501 - 1000g | $14.99 |
| 1001 - 2000g | $21.99 |

Strategic Purchase Planning
Maximize your shipping efficiency with these strategies:
The Bracket Edge Technique
If your items total 490g, you're in the $9.99 bracket. But adding a 20g item (510g total) would jump you to the $14.99 bracket. In this case, consider:
- Shopping for lighter alternatives
- Splitting your order if cost-effective
- Adding more items to maximize the higher bracket
Bundle Smartly
Heavy, dense items are often more cost-effective to ship together, while combining multiple lightweight items can help you optimize bracket usage.
