Weight Discrepancy

Whenever there is a difference between the weight of a shipment provided by the seller and measured by the courier company, a case of weight discrepancy arises which is often called a weight dispute. Change in the weight of a shipment can lead to high shipping costs subsequently increasing the price of the whole order that has to be shipped. One of the ways to avoid weight disputes is to calculate the volumetric weight (product of length, breadth, and height by 5000) after the packaging of the item is done to know the exact weight. Connecting with a shipping partner, a logistics aggregator can help you ease off and make the weight disputes issues hassle-free giving you time to focus on your business.

Some harmful commodities are forbidden from shipping by one or more modes of transportation. Because of their chemical or physical qualities, certain commodities are designated as DG goods. Crackers, gases, flammable liquids, corrosive substances, and so on are examples.
