Eight lines from list price to landed price
Stack every line between a list price and a parcel in your hands, and see which two lines carry the most weight.
Quick answer
A Joyagoo shipping cost is not one number: it is the item price plus domestic freight, the service line, QC and packing, chargeable-weight international freight, destination tax and a handling fee. The waterfall stacks all eight and names the two lines worth compressing first.
Cost waterfall result
Eight lines add up to 517.00 per parcel, with 4.00 kg of chargeable weight driving the freight line.
Item price is 38.7% of the landed cost
Two lines carrying the most weight
- International freight: 220.00 (42.6% of the landed cost)
- Item price: 200.00 (38.7% of the landed cost)
Optional merge fill-in: enter the chargeable weight from before merging to see the freight difference on its own line.
| # | Line | Amount | Share | Compressible |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Item price | 200.00 | 38.7% | yes |
| 2 | Domestic shipping | 12.00 | 2.3% | yes |
| 3 | Service fee | 10.00 | 1.9% | yes |
| 4 | QC and photo fee | 10.00 | 1.9% | yes |
| 5 | Packing and reinforcement | 15.00 | 2.9% | yes |
| 6 | International freight | 220.00 | 42.6% | yes |
| 7 | Destination tax | 42.00 | 8.1% | not with this seller |
| 8 | Carrier handling | 8.00 | 1.5% | not with this seller |
The freight line is charged on volume: 4.00 kg against 2.00 kg on a scale.
How the calculation runs
Parameters and the date they were checked
Parameters checked 2026-10-06. The defaults on this page are the values we recorded when we last read the relevant pages, and they are listed with the same date on the sources page. Change any rate, fee or day count and the tool labels itself manual, so a figure you supplied is never mistaken for one we recorded.
Three ways to use it
- Enter the item price and the freight price per kilogram first, then read the shares: those two lines usually decide the total, and everything else moves it by a few percent.
- Leave the volumetric field empty if you know the box sides; the tool will compute the volumetric weight and tell you which side of the comparison is in charge.
- Fill the weight before merging only when you actually merged parcels; the saving line appears only then, and it is an estimate at your stated freight price per kilogram.
Questions this tool gets
Why does the chargeable weight sit in the middle of the waterfall?
Because it is the one input that changes another line rather than adding one. The freight line is charged per kilogram, so which side of the actual-versus-volumetric comparison wins decides how large that line is; every line below it inherits the difference.
How is the compression candidate chosen?
By share of the landed total, largest first, two lines deep. Item price is included, because the most effective lever is often the row you chose rather than the service you chose. The tool prints candidates, not advice: whether a line can move depends on facts it cannot see.
Where it stops being reliable
Boundaries and exceptions
- A missing freight price per kilogram stops the calculation, because the freight line cannot be estimated from a placeholder rate.
- Any negative line is rejected: a credit belongs in a lower item price, not in a negative fee.
- A landed cost above ten times the item price returns a units warning, which in practice means a weight was typed in grams where kilograms were expected.
- The two pressure candidates are ranked by share alone. A small line can be the easiest one to move, and this page will not say otherwise.
Stops that use this number
- Stop 6: Merge and pack — Merging trades a second freight charge for a bigger volumetric weight. Run both sides.
- Stop 7: Freight and customs — Freight is charged on chargeable weight. Customs is decided on declaration fields you fill in.
Readings behind it
- Joyagoo customs line: 4 fields, 3 common misreads — The declaration is a statement you sign, not a dial you turn down.
- Three hauls, three merge timings, three totals — Merging three light parcels into one saves 0.53 billable kilos at divisor 6000 and 0.40 at 8000.
- Joyagoo first haul at $100, $300 and $600 — A $100 haul is settled by packing shape, not by which items you picked.
Other tools: all nine. The reading protocol and the cost waterfall are the two tools that exist only on this site.
