How to Use the Freight Calculator on RizzitGO Agent Sites
One of the most common questions new buyers ask is: "How much will shipping cost?" The answer depends on your item's weight, dimensions, and which shipping line you choose. This guide shows you exactly how to use the freight calculator on RizzitGO's partner agent sites to estimate your total cost before placing an order.
Why Shipping Cost Matters
When buying through RizzitGO agents, you pay two separate costs:
- Item price — paid when you place the order
- International shipping — paid after the agent receives and QCs your item
For lightweight items like T-shirts, shipping to the US might be $8–15. For heavy items like shoes or jackets, it can run $25–50 or more. Calculating this upfront helps you avoid sticker shock.
What Is a Freight Calculator?
A freight calculator estimates shipping costs based on:
- ›Item weight (grams or kg)
- ›Item dimensions (for volumetric weight)
- ›Shipping line (DHL, EMS, YunExpress, SAL, etc.)
- ›Destination country (US, UK, CA, AU, etc.)
Most RizzitGO agents have this tool built into their websites.

Comparing Shipping Lines for US Buyers
| Shipping Line | Speed | Cost | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| DHL Express | 5–8 days | $$$ | Urgent orders, shoes |
| YunExpress | 10–15 days | $$ | Good balance |
| EMS | 12–20 days | $$ | Reliable tracking |
| SAL Air | 18–30 days | $ | Non-urgent clothing |
| Economy Sea | 30–50 days | $ | Heavy/bulk orders |
For most US buyers ordering 1–3 clothing items, YunExpress or EMS offers the best value.

Pro Tips for Lower Shipping Costs
- ›Consolidate shipments. Instead of shipping 3 items separately, ask your agent to combine them into one package. You pay shipping once.
- ›Choose the right line for the weight. DHL is efficient for heavy packages (over 1kg) due to its volume pricing.
- ›Avoid oversized items. Items with large dimensions (e.g., bulky puffer jackets) may be charged by volumetric weight, which can exceed actual weight.
- ›Check for shipping promotions. Many agents discount specific shipping lines during major sale periods.
How to Estimate Total Order Cost
Example Order: 1 hoodie + 1 T-shirt via KakoBuy
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Hoodie (RizzitGO USD) | $35.00 |
| T-shirt (RizzitGO USD) | $20.00 |
| Agent service fee (≈5%) | $2.75 |
| YunExpress shipping (~700g) | $18.00 |
| **Total** | **$75.75** |
Compared to buying similar brand-inspired items domestically, this represents substantial savings even after shipping.
