Why is the shipping weight 8 pounds? The bag is only 6 oz!

We need to make as much money as we can on each and every order. Also, product is cheaper at Bed Bath Beyond.

I didn't buy it at Amazon because I thought the price was too high. But maybe Amazon is putting more than one package of it together, which would make the price much more reasonable. The 6-oz package I bought at Bed, Bath and Beyond was definitely not that heavy.

This is only 6oz. I'm guessing its a mistake, 8lbs sounds like the machine, not this product.

I just posted a picture of the used bag on a digital scale and it still weighs 2lb 0.9oz. Considering the amount I used, I'm convinced the 2.2lb weight indicated was correct before the bag was opened and used.

8 lbs sounds high but it is definitely more than 8 ounces. This thing is pretty durable and rugged feeling. With packaging 8 lbs is probably close.

The shipping weight is not 11 pounds . That would be a heavy bag... If they mean the dog can 11 lbs. To fit. Then that would be correct.....the bag is very cute. I love it. Hope I was able to help you

I bought the 12X6 which shipping weight is 62lbs, it appears the 8X6 is 58lbs shipping weight.

I was wondering this myself...seems like it should be 8 pounds ship weight. Even if it was per set, then it ought to be 4 pounds, not 3.6...

Yeah, I concur with Ivan, mine is still in the package -but, the whole unit (including some minimal cardboard packaging) weighs in at 8.3oz.

I did not weigh it, but it is not heavy. I noticed on the listing that its shipping weight is 13.6 ounces.

Hi Julie, we have been working with Amazon to correct the weight issue. They actually set the weight at 1 pound when they ship from their warehouse as it would never ship out at 6 oz without extra postage being due. Thanks for your question, Jamie

The bag is fairly heavy. I have not put it on a scale but it is definitely heavier than a pound. The bag is very tough, padded and overbuilt. 9lbs with a shipping box sounds correct.

As long are it is shipped and sold by Amazon it should be the 5lb bag is 15-17 dollars, like someone else said the price fluctuates some but the bags have always been 5lbs!

According to the product description, its shipping weight is 8 lbs. It is a little heavy, but it's very sturdy

Probably to keep the shipping charge reasonable. No one wants to pay 15.00 to have an item shipped. I weighed my bag and it is 11 pounds. I use amazon prime so I don't pay shipping on anything. Different sellers advertise different shipping costs. Seems strange but I think it is to keep the product more appealing. I hate paying outrageous shipping charges and won't usually buy items if the shipping is high.

The weight is definitely 3.45 lbs, so rest assured; I'm not sure how the description here arrived at 6.8 lbs. I hope this helps :)

The bag itself is 100 lbs. There wasn't a lot of packaging around it so I would guess the bag and the packaging didn't weigh much more than 105 lbs, if that. If you need to know for absolute certain maybe you could contact the shipper. Hope this helps!

From the Samsonite website, I believe the one there is the same as I purchased, so it says 8 lbs. empty.
