shipping weight: why is the shipping weight 10 lb.?

Yeh, it's pretty rediculous. especially with the fact that the Product dimensions lists the True Weight. "Product Dimensions: 9.5 x 8.2 x 2.0 inches ; 13.8 ounces" 13.8 Ounces, roughly almost 1 pound.

I think it's probably just a typo--probably should be 10 oz. shipping weight. Mine was shipped with other items, so I can't say for sure about the shipping weight.

The shipping weight is just over 10 lbs. I purchased the one that has a handle you grab when stepping on it. That makes it easy to drag if the person doesn't want to carry it.

The shipping weight does not reflect physical weight. It is calculated by dimensions or how much space the item will occupy in transit. The item weights approximately 30-35 pounds.

Shipping costs tend to be directly associated with the weight of the package being shipped. Since this is a weighted vest that weighs 60 lbs, the shipping cost is going to be expensive.

Hi, I think this is a question for the seller. I have bought two of these and the item itself barely weighs a pound. Once the seller packages the item they will know the "shipping" weight. Again, a question for the Seller.

I don't know for sure, but I assume that the box & packing material are part of the shipping weight. It's very common to see that kind of weight difference.

I have it full so I can't weigh it. It is 5-10 pounds. What is the shipping weight?

with shipping materials, it shouldn't weigh more than 10#...(at the most)...without shipping material, ours weighs 5.2#

If shipping weight is 40lb that is probably what the item weights. The packaging shouldn't weight very much, depending on the bulk of the item.

the shipping information says 10.4lbs, so it's somewhere between 8 to 10 lbs. The box and protective packing have to count as some of the 10.4lb weight.

The shipping weights are listed for each size. Just deduct the weight of the shipping box.

It appears that Amazon corrected this. It now lists the shipping weight as 15.2 pounds.

It weighs one pound ten ounces. If you are concerned about shipping, I plan to pay the postage.

There is clearly an error in description on the weight. The item weighs maximum 10 oz. including shipping box.

I see what you mean, I think they are coming up with that number by using the shipping weight of 35.4 lbs instead of the 32 lb of product only. I don't know why they do that. Overall, it's a good price vs. the 100 load smaller container so that's something to think about.
