Fee based on Weight of Package and Location of Buyer + Cost of Product Sold = Total Sale Value
If the weight of the package is over the estimated weight by the courier at the time of pick up, the seller is obligated to pay the difference during settlement time. This means MO will deduct any added cost incurred due to the discrepancy in weight and deduct this amount from seller before depositing the final sale revenue from the product. It is therefore the obligation of the seller to accurately measure package weight inclusive of packaging at the time of listing the product.
Once delivery of the package is made by MO delivery, any chargers for the overweight amount will be deducted from the sale price of the product received by MO and the balance sales amount will be debited to the Seller.
