Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship
Carriers have a max weight limit for a single package.
This is a common one for all.

As a precaution - should store owners call their shippers to find out wht this is and then set this item above to their maximum value?

Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight

What is the weight of typical packaging of small to medium packages?
Example: 10% + 1lb 10:1
10% + 0lbs 10:0
0% + 5lbs 0:5
0% + 0lbs 0:0

Can I have this explained in English please? LOL - I just am not getting it.

Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight

Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight
What is the weight of typical packaging for Large packages?
Example: 10% + 1lb 10:1
10% + 0lbs 10:0
0% + 5lbs 0:5
0% + 0lbs 0:0

I assume it's the same as the small.

Basically - is this saying that if I have an item that weights 1lb then I should add 10% of it's weight to allow for the packaging material to ship it - is this correct?
