BASE WEIGHT: 1KG
WEIGHT INCREMENT: 1KG
COST PER INCREMENT: R40
If the above rule is used and the order weight total is less than 1KG a fee of R250 will be charged to your shoppers.
If the weight of the order is more than 1KG a formula is used. For this example the order weight totals 4.6KG.
BASE RATE: R250 for the first 1KG. For the remaining 3.6KG the shopper is charged R40 per KG. The order weight will be rounded up to 5KG thus 5xR40 will be added. The total charge will be R250 + R200 = R450 Shipping costs.
