Further profitability improvements may be seen by reducing your product size to improve your units per carton and per palletĪs well as reducing your FBA storage and fulfillment fees. 🥳 Nice work!

I think it's unconsionable that eBay has NOT made site wide announcements or pushed out messages to sellers using FedEx services notifying them of the issue. However, until it's PROVEN that eBay has fixed ALL the calculators I will not be including any FedEx shipping method on my listings. I'll still see some losses in sales, but not nearly as dramatic. If FedEx Home rates above are accurate, I would see a 20% increase in shipping costs to zone 8 instead of 100%. Right now if I continue to stock the same number of 4-7lb items I was estimating a 40% loss in overall sales. (everything FedEx is such a mess right now it isn't funny) I don't know if it's another glitch or not, but waiting for Trinton to verify that maybe eBay got us a good divisor again. (if eBay was using a 139 divisor the Dim weight would be 11 pounds and base rate would be $17.89 - not what label is showing) Label base rate $15.73 Chart says 15.73 is for 8.01-9 lb to zone 8ĭim Wt Divisor = (12in)(12in)(10in) / 9 lb = 160 in³/lbĭim Wt Divisor = (12in)(12in)(10in) / 8.01 lb = 180 in³/lbĪctual divisor lies in between the 2 calculated pseudo values -> 166 is a real divisor we know of.ĭim weight = 12x12x10/166 = 8.67 lb which rounds up to 9 lb for lookup. Please see print screens below for shipping a 8 lb box (20" x 15" x 12") from 32224 to 60609 and with the two different rate calculations.Īs I noted in another thread, it looks like eBay just started using the 166 divisor again for FedEx Ground/Home Delivery.Ĭheck by looking at the expanded transportation cost on an eBay FedEx Ground or Home Delivery label page calculation, comparing the base rate shown for that label to the published rate tables and finding the weight it corresponds to in the table for the proper zone, and seeing whether that dim weight is a result of a 139 or a 166 divisor used on the dimensions.ġ2x12x10 pkg to Zone 8. However, when I use eBay's shipping calculator and calculate a Fedex rate, if I put in the weight only (and no "optional" dimensions) it is much lower than when I add the box dimensions. So how do I calculate that? If my box is 20" x 15" x 12", does that mean that it is 20 / 74 and within limits? 20 + 2(15) + 2(12) = 74.

Is that the maximum size limit for Home Delivery is 108 inches/165 inches which, if you follow the asterisk, stands for Length / length plus girth (L+2W+2H). A few questions:ġ) If shipping via FedEx, is creating a shipping label DIRECTLY from your FedEx account (rather than through eBay) still the prevailing advice from experienced eBay sellers?Ģ) If the seller has FedEx Home Delivery as the listed method for shipping an item, does ebay charge the buyer for the residential surcharge if they have a residential delivery address?ģ) Will I experience crazy-expensive FedEx rates if I use my own packaging materials?Ĥ) Does FedEx have any standardized size limits or ranges for the Home Delivery category that will keep self-packaging from incurring surcharges? The best I can tell from this page: I have several large and heavy things to ship and am considering using FedEx. I'm an old eBayer but a rather new *seller* and I'm reading everything I can about shipping.
