Shipping Weight: Why is the shipping weight so heavy in comparison to the product weight?

Shipping was FREE via Amazon. How much did your's ship for? Different vendor, perhaps? Most impt., how did this hot black DM-V perform? Fit and Finish? Both mine, and the one i gifted my 15 y/o nephew for Christmas was totally " nice for the price" ......his number one and two , area razor slime DB,...., And a Washburn V with Bill Lawrence pups. This one serves backup,...he loves It. DM-V for under $300.....amazing! Dean V Dave Mustaine Guitar, Bolt-on Classic Black (i love mine too!) FREE Shipping from Amazon........

I would think so, since each product box has to be shipped the weight has to be accounted for in the price of shipping.

The first one I ordered had 3lbs on the box but they state it as heavier so they can charge more on the shipping. Since then they have started removing the weight from the shipping labels so not to get caught out on their scam.

We do not include the shipping price in the cost of the product. So there is a small fee associated with the shipping of this product based upon the total shipping weight and relative to the shipping destination.Thank you.

Not sure why you're asking why the difference. Maybe you're thinking the dimensions are too small for the weight...? Either way it weighs every bit of 235 and comes in at least two different boxes

usually they "generally" over weigh an item for shipping cost,such as an item shipping from east to west as opposed to shipping it across town. i never had a problem.

I did not weigh it, but the package is basically solid wood. I recommend using the same carrier who delivers it :). While I obviously don't know your situation, would you consider having it delivered to it directly to the final destination - It would surely be less expensive than shipping it twice.

Shipping weight on my unit was over 200 pounds. So I don't think they are the same.

Shipping weight listed under product details. Different depending on size and quantity that you order.

The shipping weight is the weight of the item, PLUS the weight of all wrapping and packaging, but excluding the weight of the shipping container. The container says "NET WT. 8 OZ", so the weight of the product is 8 ounces avoirdupois. (It is NOT 8 fluid ounces of volume, as others here have suggested.) The shipping weight should be 8 oz. or slightly more. I can only guess that the 2.4 oz "shipping weight" is an error.

Its Dimensional weight that the shipper will bill you for based on the size of the box that's shipped not the actual weight.

I have the red which weighs 1 pound and I am extemely happy with this product. I suppose with shipping the weight is heavier. Just ask amazon customer service for advise.

I've actually purchased both products and neither package weighed 1.2 pounds. I think that shipping weight has more to do with how shipping cost is calculated and not the actual weight of the shipped package.

The size and weight of original box is small and not too heavy. But, Amazon put the box inside of another huge box. This external huge box is big and heavy. I think Amazon tries to protect the item.

I have not personally weighed it but the product description shows it weighs 9.26 lbs for the actual item and then a few more pounds in shipping weight.

I'd say the 4 oz was more accurate. Maybe it's 2lbs shipping weight with packaging?

Hi Melvin, I see what you are saying. Totally wrong weight. I don't charge shipping to specifically avoid issues like this because other merchants sometimes put in wrong product information. I've tried to change the weight on the listing, and it looks like it is correct now. Thanks for bringing that up! -Channells
