Haul weight estimator

Shipping is priced by weight, so the question "what will this haul cost to ship" is really the question "what will it weigh". You cannot know that until the agent weighs the parcel — which is after you have already bought everything. This estimator gets you close enough to budget with, before you commit.

Estimate shipping cost

Estimates use community-average item weights; real weight varies with material, size and how the agent packs it.

How it works

  1. Add each item in your haul and choose what type it is.
  2. The estimator adds up typical shipped weights, including the box and packing.
  3. Take the total straight to the shipping calculator for a cost estimate.

About this tool

Build the haul item by item and it adds up typical weights per garment type. Shoes and outerwear dominate: a single pair of boots can outweigh five t-shirts, which is why hauls that felt cheap turn expensive at the shipping stage.

Common questions

How accurate is it?

It is an estimate built on typical weights per item type, not a measurement. Expect it to land in the right bracket rather than to the gram — enough to decide between shipping lines, not enough to argue with your agent.

Why is my parcel charged more than it weighs?

Volumetric weight. Carriers charge whichever is greater: the real weight, or the volume of the box divided by 5000. A puffer jacket weighs little and fills a box, so it is charged on size. The shipping calculator applies this rule.

Does it include the packaging?

Yes. Agents repack everything into one box, and the box, filler and tape are part of what gets weighed — leaving them out is how estimates come in optimistically low.
