Actual vs. 'shipping' weight. If the actual weight is 5.9 oz., how the bloody hell is the shipping weight 21 lbs.???

lol.. I have the same question. I think, they meant 0.21 lbs. 21 lbs is a typo.

in this page it is calculate according to the shipping weight, 1.5 Pound, 24 oZ, exactly 0.7 per oz the person that created this page did not enter different figure for the item actual weight, so amazon system take the shipping weight figure instead

I actually bought this back in June and cannot find my original UPS shipping label, etc but the product info states shipping weight as 11 lbs. It comes in a really long box and when I first saw the box I thought what did they send me because it was so big, but it was all "packaging" and I think the weight description is pretty accurate. Sorry I can't be of more help. btw: I have dropped a couple dishes in this set and they didn't break and I have seen some reviews on here from others whose dishes broke when they dropped them.

Most of the answers here are wrong. This item weighs 19.05oz. Verified on two of my scales.

Hi the shipping weight was accurate. I was actually shocked at how little it cost when here. The shipping weight is 4lbs.

Mine had a shipping weight of just over 31 lbs, which is just over 14 kilos

I'm guessing that's a typo and supposed to be 22.6 oz - the jar was simply wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap and thrown in an amazon box, so there's no way it was 22.6 pounds!

I did weigh it. Shipping weight is just over 18#; actual weight without packing is 17#.

I just weighed it for you. The actual weight is a bit over one ounce. I think the description was including the packaging as well for the shipping weight.

I do not know the actual, accurate weight, but - it is lightweight. I would think even packaged for shipping it wouldn't be more than 5#.

Because Amazon's shipping calculator is off. To get the shipping right on this, I use the shipping wheight to adjust shipping price. The actual product weight is 15lbs. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need anything else. Matt

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.

the 9.5 ounce is packaged in glass which creates a much higher shipping weight as will as more packaging time and material. Often times pricing on Amazon products have product costs partially absorbed in shipping costs. Best to look at total price when comparing sellers

I weighed mine on the scale I purchased from the USPS. It weighed 4 lbs 5 oz or 2 kg.

No it is strictly a scale. I go to the USPS web site with the weight and size to get the shipping cost.

Hi Eric, good catch. That is indeed a typo. The shipping weight of this item is around 77lbs, which includes the item and the packaging. Thanks for bringing that to our attention!

The estimated shipping weight is actually listed under the product details. As for the "exact" weight, well that depends on the packaging packing and materials used. And the weight is already factored into the process and handling costs, if any, so that shouldn't be a factor. If you need a number use the one in the product details, it's fairly accurate.
