How is the shipping weight lower than the product weight?

New improved packing peanuts filled with lighter than air gas- I fill my tires and get better mileage. Buy it on Amazon free shipping!

No it is a lot less. Check and see who is selling the item, they could be selling it cheap and trying go make up the difference with the shipping.

I don't know for sure, but I assume that the box & packing material are part of the shipping weight. It's very common to see that kind of weight difference.

It is pretty much the shipping weight minus a couple of pounds for the cardboard shipping box. It is a little on the heavy side, but it is an awesome set up. I really enjoy it, it works well.

OK, Amazon will send these items to you, but shipping is based on the weight of items. thank you

Just re-weighed everything, with the product box -- the box with all the printed info on it, the one you'd see on the shelf in a retail store (not the shipping box; I don't have that anymore). Comes to 4 lb. 9.75 oz., which is 4.61 lb. (since there are 16 oz per pound). The product details section of the Amazon listing says that the shipping weight is 4.2 pounds. So, if anything, it looks like the seller is charging *less* than the actual weight...

Shipping costs tend to be directly associated with the weight of the package being shipped. Since this is a weighted vest that weighs 60 lbs, the shipping cost is going to be expensive.

Maybe that's shipping weight? The box it comes in is not skimpy. Mine weighs under 2 pounds (using bathroom scale).

I still have the original box. Shipping weight is 7 lbs. Actual product weight is 6.7 lbs. The 2.2 lbs. obviously is a typo.

Probably to keep the shipping charge reasonable. No one wants to pay 15.00 to have an item shipped. I weighed my bag and it is 11 pounds. I use amazon prime so I don't pay shipping on anything. Different sellers advertise different shipping costs. Seems strange but I think it is to keep the product more appealing. I hate paying outrageous shipping charges and won't usually buy items if the shipping is high.

The shipping weight refers to the box and box size that it is shipped in, not the actual weight of the item, meaning that items shipped in that box, at that box size can weigh no more than 55 lbs. I wouldn't worry about it. I have tried to find a cheaper product and outside of ordering from China this is the best deal available. I will be ordering over $100k worth this year and the only way I can get a better deal is to go straight to the manufacturer.

The product info states that the product weight is one pound and that the shipping weight is "three pounds." Yes, it's excessive to be sure "they" don't under charge.

I don't know the shipping weight, but the box wasn't super big. I'm sorry, I don't remember specifics though!

the weight was 0.1 pound , the product is small but it was put in a shipping envelope with dimensions of approximately 12 X 10 X 2 CM

For "product dimensions" it says 6.5 pounds. For "shipping weight" it says 22 pounds. There's something off here; I doubt if the box it comes in weighs 15.5 pounds.

I did not weigh it but it is way less than that. I had no trouble getting the package into my home and up a staircase.

We do not include the shipping price in the cost of the product. So there is a small fee associated with the shipping of this product based upon the total shipping weight and relative to the shipping destination.Thank you.
