Work out exactly what Amazon charges you for a shipment — actual vs. volumetric weight, STEP level, and GST, all handled automatically.
An item is Heavy & Bulky if any one is true:
Every Easy Ship shipment is charged a weight-handling fee, based on whichever is higher: the item's actual weight (with packaging) or its volumetric weight (a stand-in for how much space it takes on a truck).
Your seller STEP level (Basic, Standard, Advanced, Premium) changes the rate — better STEP levels get slightly lower fees. Amazon adds 18% GST on top of the calculated fee.
