A: But not all shipping methods are in this case. Take Normal DHL (KD Agent) for example, for parcels weighing 21kg, it only cost US$137.63, which is much lower than US$153.62 charged for 17kg parcels. The reason is that when parcel reach 21kg, we could get better shipping price from post agent.
Kind Suggestion: When your parcel weighs more than 17kg but less than 21kg, we recommend you to buy more items, in that case, for all extra items you add, you do not have to pay additional shipping fee, and the shipping fee you have to pay may be lower.
Following is the detailed shipping information:
| Normal DHL (KD Agent) (5-7 Days to Worldwide) |
| Shipping weight |

| 17kg |
US$153.62 |
| 18kg |
US$161.66 |

| 20kg |
US$177.74 |
| 21kg |

A:
For normal airmail shipping and EMS shipping, shipping fee was calculated by shipping weight only, which will not be related with volume. For example, if the shipping weight of one parcel is only 2KG, but the volume is 1m³, then the shipping fee will only calculate shipping weight of 2KG. Shipping company will not consider the parcel's volume, in another word, they will not charge additonal fee for the volume.
For DHL, UPS, Fedex, shipping company also consider parcel's volume when charging shipping fee. For example,
for item B06158, whose weight is 0.8KG, with volume of 13142cm 29.5(length)*13.5(Width)*33(height)=13142cm³. The shipping company will charge shipping fee by volume, that's to say, they will charge shipping fee of 2.62kg for this parcel instead of 0.8kg.
Here is the detail of their calculation method for reference:
Using Volume 13142cm³ divide 5000
volume weight: 13142/5000=2.62kg (the result 2.62kg is the shipping weight they will charge)
Note: if the result is less than actual shipping weight, shipping company will charge the heavier ones(actual shipping weight). In one word, for one parcel, there are two kinds of weight, one is actual weight, the other is volume weight. After comparison with two weight, shipping company will charge by the heavier one. When parcel's volume is big, normally the volume weight will be heavier. So they will charge by volume weight.
In conclusion, when your order's volume is big, for example, if you ordered B06158
Wholesale - Black Revolving Charm Beads Display Stand 25x12x29cm
We recommend you to choose EMS and Airmail. The shipping fee will be as usual. If you choose DHL,UPS, United Kingdom Express Delivery Service, Europe Express Delivery, normally you have to pay by volume weight. Just like the above parcel, although it is 0.8kg, but shipping company will charge shipping fee of 2.62kg.
