If you want to do AliExpress, first understand the conditions and fees for entry. Then after opening a store, you need to learn how to put products on the shelves, set shipping costs, and choose the appropriate logistics and transportation methods. How is the express delivery fee calculated on AliExpress?

1. Billing weight unit:

Generally, 0.5KG (0.5 kilograms) is a billing weight unit.

2. First weight and additional weight:

The first 0.5KG is the first weight (or lifting weight), and each additional 0.5KG is an additional weight.

Usually, the lifting fee is higher than the additional weight fee.

3. Actual weight and volume:

Actual weight refers to the actual total weight of a batch of items to be transported, including packaging.

Volumetric weight or volume refers to the method of calculating the weight of the AliExpress freight when the volume of the items to be delivered is large but the actual weight is light, due to the limited carrying capacity of the means of transport (aircraft, train, ship, car, etc.) and the volume of the items that can be loaded.

Light parabolic objects refer to items whose volumetric weight is greater than the actual weight.

4. Chargeable weight

According to the definitions of actual weight and volume, and the regulations of the International Air Cargo Association, the weight of the freight charged during the transportation of goods is calculated according to the higher of the actual weight and volumetric weight of the entire batch of goods.

5. Packaging fee

Under normal circumstances, express delivery companies are free of charge and provide packaging materials such as cartons and bubbles. For example, clothes do not need to be packaged very carefully. For some valuable and fragile items, express delivery companies need to charge a certain amount of packaging fees. And the packaging fee is generally not included in the AliExpress logistics discount.

6. General freight calculation formula:

A) When the actual weight of the items to be delivered is greater than the volume, the freight calculation method is:

First weight freight + (weight (kg) × 2-1) × additional weight freight

The formula for calculating the volume is as follows:

Fedex, UPS, DHL, TNT: Regular items: length (cm) × width (cm) × height (cm) ÷ 5000 = weight (KG)

International express sometimes adds a fuel surcharge

7. Total cost:

From the above:

Total cost = (freight + fuel surcharge) × discount + packaging fee + other fees

The above is an introduction to the calculation method of AliExpress express delivery fees. After calculating the express delivery fee, remember to go to the store backend to set up the logistics and transportation template.
