As participating bookstores prepare for\u00a0<\/span>Baucar\u00a0Buku\u00a0MADANI 2026<\/span><\/b>, order volumes are expected to increase significantly. While higher sales are always welcome,\u00a0it’s\u00a0equally important to ensure your product information in Book Capital is\u00a0accurate\u00a0before the campaign begins.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most common causes of shipping discrepancies is\u00a0<\/span>outdated or inaccurate product weight and dimensions<\/span><\/b>. Since shipment information is generated based on your product data when customers place their orders,\u00a0<\/span>incorrect inventory details may lead to underdeclared parcel weight,\u00a0additional\u00a0courier charges, and unnecessary fulfilment issues.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s\u00a0why keeping your product information up to date matters.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Shipment Information Is Generated<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

When a customer checks out on Book Capital, the shipment is created using the weight and dimensions stored in your product or SKU listing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This means the courier information generated for your shipment depends on the accuracy of your product data.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your inventory\u00a0contains\u00a0outdated or incorrect measurements, the shipment may already be created with inaccurate parcel details before it even reaches the courier.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping your product information updated helps ensure every shipment starts with the correct weight and dimensions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Courier Charges Are Calculated<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Courier companies calculate shipping charges based on two types of weight:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Actual Weight<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The physical weight of the parcel measured using a digital weighing scale.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Volumetric Weight<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The weight calculated based on the parcel’s dimensions using the following formula:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Volumetric Weight (kg) = Length \u00d7 Width \u00d7 Height (cm) \u00f7 5000<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The courier will always charge based on whichever is higher\u2014the actual weight or the volumetric weight.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For this reason, it is important that the weight and dimensions stored in your Book Capital product listing accurately reflect the parcel that will be shipped.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
