Billable weight is the highest value between package weight and dimensional weight.

Dimensional weight reflects how much space a package takes up compared to how much it actually weighs. Shipping carriers use this to account for bulky items that are light in weight but occupy a lot of room. For each shipment, you're billed based on either the actual weight or the dimensional weight—whichever is greater. 

At The K-Addy, we reduce your billable weight by using efficient packing methods. This includes consolidating multiple items into one package, removing unnecessary packaging materials, and repacking everything tightly to eliminate extra space and air. By minimizing the size and volume of your shipment, we can help lower the dimensional weight and, in turn, reduce your overall shipping cost.

Even though we pack items as efficiently as possible, some packages may still have a higher billable weight due to bulky or irregularly shaped items that create extra space. If your shipment includes fragile or delicate products, we also add protective materials to ensure they arrive safely. This added cushioning can increase the overall size of the package, which affects the billable weight.

Our international shipping fee includes the following value-added services at no extra cost: 45 days of free storage from the date your package arrives, consolidation and repacking, arrival and pre-shipping photos, a sturdy corrugated shipping box, and extra protective materials.

However, additional charges may apply for optional services such as extended storage (after 45 days), shipping insurance, unboxing videos, "inclusions only" requests, or assisted purchasing fees. For a full breakdown visit our Services & Pricing page.
