Why is the shipping weight almost double the item weight?

For me, the wood display itself came in a bulky cardboard box, which came in yet another bulky cardboard box.

I would assume that there is a weight associated with the shipping information on Amazon. But its not too heavy. But you do need weights like sandbags to keep it sturdy.

Because of the size and weight of this product, there is an extra $10.00 shipping surcharge on this item.

Shipping charges maybe, but the unit itself weighs hardly one pound. The packaging must be very protective!

The shipping is stacked, The more you buy the less the shipping cost will be per item.

I work in a warehouse and send several packages out we always add 2 pounds to the total weight of the product being shipped I still have the shipping label from my table and the total weight on it is 39 pounds so you lose the box and it weighs around 36 to 37 pounds

Shipping is based on the order total weight and the correct shipping will display in your cart once you add both items into the cart

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

Shipping is calculated by amazon off weight and dimensions. So the shipping charge for this item is not actually far from the cost at all. Thanks

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.

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.

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

This is presumably a typo. The total shipping weight is 3.6 lbs, may be even less than that.

the product weight is 37LB, the shipping weight is 70LB because UPS/FedEX now charge so called dimension weight and charge another $8.50 for the second dimension more than 30"

Dear Buyer, the shipping is calculated on weight of the shipment, not on the number of items in the shipment. The more items you order, the heavier the package. The heavier the package and the higher the shipping cost. Hope this helps.

That is very odd. If you are placing two separate orders, shipping would be charged twice however, if you are simply ordering two pieces in one order, you should not be double charged for shipping. This sounds like an error on Amazon's part. We ask that you please reach out to their customer service for further assistance. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to assist you.

Dear valued customer, Thank you for letting us know. That's because the real cost of the item is the combination of item cost and shipping fee. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thank you for kind understanding. Regards,
