Flipkart provides free shipping for products weighing less than 500 grams for local & zonal shipping. The shipping fee is calculated based on the actual weight of the product or the volumetric weight, whichever is higher. Volumetric weight accounts for items that are lightweight but occupy a significant amount of shipping space. This approach ensures fair and accurate shipping charges are applied, taking into consideration the actual or volumetric weight of the products being shipped.
Volumetric Weight (kg) = Length (cm) X Breadth (cm) X Height (cm)/5000
| Details | Local | Zonal | National |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-500 grams | 0 | 0 | 16 |
| Incremental 500 grams, upto 1 Kg | 5 | 20 | 25 |
| +1Kg,upto 1.5Kg | 20 | 20 | 30 |
| +1.5Kg,upto 2Kg | 10 | 20 | 20 |
| +2Kg, upto 3Kg (For every 0.5 kg) | 8 | 15 | 20 |
| +3Kg, upto 12Kg (For every 1 kg) | 8 | 12 | 18 |
| +1Kg, beyond 12Kg (For every 1 kg) | 4 | 5 | 8 |

You are a Gold Tier seller and have chosen Fulfillment by Flipkart (FBF) as your preferred fulfillment choice. You are selling a sari on Flipkart at ₹450 (selling price).
Geography: If you are selling the product from Ludhiana to a customer in Bengaluru, the national shipping cost will be applicable.
Weight: The weight of the final packed product to be measured and relevant prices to be applied.
If the weight of the packed product is 400 grams, the shipping cost is ₹16.
Apply the percentage relevant to the product. Given that the selling price here is ₹450, a 4.5% commission fee will be applicable.
4.5% x ₹450 = ₹20.25
Since the seller here is a Gold Tier seller using FBF, the fixed fee will be ₹57.
₹16 + ₹20.25 + ₹57 = ₹93.25
Selling price = ₹450
Flipkart Fees = ₹93.25
Gross Margin = ₹450 - ₹93.25 = ₹356.75
Note: The figures mentioned above are for illustrative purposes only and are intended to provide a general understanding. Actual fees may vary based on factors such as the specific services selected, precise dimensions/weight/volumetric weight, category classification, additional services utilized, recent rate card updates, applicable GST, and other factors.
