Lazada’s international shipping costs are mainly calculated based on the charging standards of LGS (Lazada Global Shipping). Here is some information about Lazada’s international shipping costs:
Charging method: International shipping costs are generally charged based on actual weight or volume weight, whichever is higher. The calculation formula for volume weight is (length x width x height) / 6000, in centimeters. The weight is calculated in units of 10 grams.
Condition restrictions: Packages shipped using LGS must meet certain conditions, including weight restrictions and volume restrictions. The weight limit is generally not more than 20 kilograms. The volume limit is measured by the sum of length, width, and height not exceeding 300 centimeters.
Special goods: You also need to pay attention to the restrictions on special goods. If the transported goods are restricted or violate regulations on the Lazada platform, it is recommended to negotiate with the buyer to cancel the order to avoid being intercepted during transportation and causing the platform to cancel the order.
Specific international shipping costs may vary depending on the region, shipping destination, and special circumstances. In order to determine the accurate international shipping costs, please consult with Lazada officials or your logistics partner before using LGS to ship, and comply with relevant regulations.
