After making the product details page, the seller determines the logistics channel for delivery and is ready to set up the freight template. Through research, the seller found that many AliExpress sellers will give customers a certain degree of freight reduction on the basis of standard freight, and need to learn how to calculate the freight reduction.

1. Calculate the freight.
Most sellers will ship through China Post Registered Parcel. Taking the postal parcel as an example, let’s take a look at the freight standard of China Post Parcel. According to the country classification, the area to be sent is divided into 10 areas. Among them, we often choose not to ship to the 10th area because the distance is far, the purchase rate in these countries is low and the loss rate is relatively high. Since buyers are mainly concentrated in the first 5 areas, we usually choose free shipping. The freight of China Post Parcel = weight/kg x standard freight/kg + registration fee. The actual weight of a packaged product is 250g. If it is sent to the United States using China Post Small Parcel, the international shipping fee is 30.625 yuan.
2. Calculate the freight reduction.
If a product weighs 240g and the first 5 zones are free shipping, what should the freight reduction rate for the 8th zone be?
Step 1, the postage for the first 5 zones should be 29.72 yuan;
Step 2, the postage for the 8th zone should be 36.8 yuan;
Step 3, the standard freight reduction rate for the 8th zone = (postage for the first 5 zones ÷ postage for the 8th zone) x 100% ≈ 81%.
