Adjustment of shipping charges

In certain scenarios, the weight and freight(shipping) charge visible to you at the time of shipment might differ from what logistics providers charge at the time of billing.

Once a shipment is handled by the shipper to the shipping provider, they weigh the actual volumetric weight of the shipment at their warehouse. Based on the volumetric weight the shipping charges of the shipments are updated and an invoice is sent to StoreHippo in every 15-20 days. 

The shipping charges in the Orders > Shipments section are updated automatically once the invoice from the shipping provider is received. In the invoice, the adjusted amount is mentioned.
