Hi Vikas, Does shipping_weight factor in typical packaging for shipping? So you'd use shipping weight to calculate shipping costs, but product_weight for product specification. You might order quantity twelve 420g cans of soup. 420g is the net weight of the product, but for shipping you need to factor in the weight of the cans and the box as well.
