Please note:
- Fees shown in all tables above are displayed excluding taxes. We will apply 14% Service Tax, 0.5% Swachh Bharath Cess and 0.5% Krishi Kalyan Cess to all fees displayed above. (Total service tax of 15%)
- For FBA orders, the Outbound Shipping Weight is calculated for each individual shipment by adding the Packaging Weight to the overall shipment weight. We will use 80 gm, 100 gm and 500 gm as the Packaging Weight for Small, Standard and Oversize items respectively
- In FBA for Standard and Oversize items weighing more than 2 kg, we use Dimensional Weight if the Dimensional Weight is greater than the Unit Weight.
- In FBA for Oversize Heavy and Bulky items we will use Dimensional Weight if the Dimensional Weight is greater than the Unit Weight
- Dimensional weight is calculated using the formula, (Length x Width x Height) divided by 5000 to get the Dimensional weight of a unit in kilograms. Length, Width and Height are in centimeters
