Full analysis of Lazada Malaysia station logistics and freight calculation: from freight composition to logistics selection
The rapid development of the Lazada platform in Malaysia has attracted a large number of sellers. However, the logistics challenges faced by sellers in cross-border e-commerce operations cannot be underestimated. This article will discuss Lazada Malaysia’s freight structure and logistics options in detail, providing sellers with necessary information and guidance.
1. Freight calculation method
Lazada Malaysia uses a freight calculation method called the “volumetric weight calculation method”. This method combines the size and weight of the product. By multiplying the length, width and height of the product, and then dividing by a preset coefficient (usually 6000), the volumetric weight is obtained.
The specific freight calculation is mainly divided into the following two parts:
- Cross-border shipping costs borne by the seller: This part is pre-calculated by the platform when the order is formed and will be deducted from the seller’s account after the order is successfully delivered.
- Local shipping charges borne by the buyer: When a buyer places an order, the price of the item and local shipping charges will be paid to the seller.
In addition, the calculation of shipping costs is also affected by various factors such as the destination of the product and the delivery method. Therefore, it is recommended that sellers use the shipping calculator provided by Lazada when setting shipping costs, or directly consult customer service to obtain accurate information. , to avoid additional costs.
