How to Use Freight Calculator on RizzitGO

Shipping is the hidden cost of buying through spreadsheets. The RizzitGO freight calculator helps you estimate your total shipping cost before you commit to a haul.

Why Use the Freight Calculator

Unexpected shipping costs are the #1 reason buyers overspend. A $150 haul can suddenly become $220 after shipping. The calculator lets you plan ahead.

How to Access It

In the RizzitGO spreadsheet, look for the Freight Calculator tab. It is usually near the Shipping or Tools section.

Step-by-Step

  1. **Enter your destination country** — rates vary by region
  2. **Input estimated weight** — add 10–15% buffer for packaging
  3. **Select shipping line** — options usually include EMS, DHL, SF Express, and others
  4. **Add optional services** — insurance, repackaging, etc.
  5. **Read the total** — this is your estimated shipping cost

How to Estimate Weight

If you do not know the weight yet, use the spreadsheet product column that lists item weight where available. Add them up and add 0.5–1kg for boxes and packaging.

Tips to Save on Shipping

  • Remove shoe boxes to save 0.5–1kg per pair
  • Consolidate orders into one haul
  • Use the **rehearsal packaging** option to get exact weight before shipping
  • Choose slower lines for non-urgent items

Common Mistakes

  • Forgetting to add packaging weight
  • Choosing the fastest line for everything — not every haul is urgent
  • Not comparing lines — one line may be half the price for your country

Bottom line: Use the freight calculator before every haul. It is the difference between a planned budget and a surprise bill.
