Frequently Asked Questions:
-
Why was I charged for a heavier weight?

At IndoBox Asia we adopt the same standard. Actual Weight is the weight of the package when put on a scale. Volumetric/Dimensional Weight is based on the size of the package. Example items that have a small Actual Weight, like Tote Handbag and Shoes, will have a larger volumetric/dimensional Weight. Therefore, we will calculate your shipping cost based on the volumetric weight. Please take note that the shipping costs is calculated based on your merchant/manufacturer's packaging and not the courier package that arrives at your address.
