Quote the packed parcel, not the item alone
Everyday bills
Check size, weight, destination and service before promising a buyer a delivery price.
Pack and measure first, then request the shipping quote. A small sale can lose its margin through an unpriced delivery assumption.
The box is part of the shipment
LBC’s shipping information directs customers to compare charges using package weight and size, service and destination. That means the bare item’s weight is not enough to establish the final shipping price.
Use the external dimensions of the parcel after protective packaging. A fragile item may need more space than its product listing suggests. Do not squeeze packaging below what is needed for protection merely to chase an estimated lower charge.
Keep delivery and optional services separate
Ask for the specific origin and destination, service speed and delivery arrangement. Check whether collection, declared value or any other requested service changes the total. Do not borrow a formula or surcharge from another courier and assume LBC applies it.
For an illustrative sale, ₱40 of packing materials plus a ₱180 shipping quote creates ₱220 of fulfilment cost before any platform fees. Those invented numbers are not a carrier tariff. Show who pays each line before accepting the order.
Save evidence before handing it over
Keep the quote, parcel measurements, agreed service and dispatch receipt. Check acceptance rules for the item and ask about the applicable process for damage or failed delivery. Do not promise a compensation amount that you have not confirmed.
If the final packed size changes, recheck the price instead of silently absorbing or passing on an unexpected charge. This guide is a preparation method, not a delivery-time guarantee or a complete list of restricted items. Use the official service channel for the shipment you actually plan to send.
