Read the range

What the three columns mean

How to read a landed-cost range
ColumnWhat to put in itWhen to use it
LowSame line, lightest plausible weight, no optional feesBest case you can actually get
ExpectedYour best estimate from the estimator and the fee pageThe number to compare across items
HighHeavier packed weight, insurance, duty reserveThe number that should still feel acceptable

If the high column is already uncomfortable, the item is not a bargain. If the low column is the only one you like, you are pricing a hope, not a parcel.

The range is also a comparison tool: two items with the same product price can have very different landed ranges because of weight and volume.

Questions

Four questions about landed cost

Why ranges instead of one number?

Because freight, fees and duty are ranges until the parcel is packed and the line is chosen. A single number would look precise and be wrong.

What belongs in “fees”?

Handling, payment processing, insurance and any optional service. If the agent does not charge it, leave it at zero.

Should I include duty?

If you are shipping to a country where duty or tax applies, yes. If you are not sure, put a range and treat it as a reserve, not a quote.

Take the range to the quote

Compare it with the partner estimator. If the real quote sits above your high column, stop and re-price.
