You will be charged a weight handling fee for products delivered by Easy Ship based on the size of the item. First determine the size tier for your product (standard or oversize). Once you know the product’s size tier, use the fee tables below to determine which fee will apply.
Standard-size versus Oversize
A standard-size item is one that, when fully packaged, weighs 12 kg or less and does not exceed:
Any item exceeding these dimensions is considered oversize. Any item not exceeding these dimensions, but weighs more than 12kg will also be considered oversize.
Easy Ship Weight-Handling Fees for Standard-size items (items weighing less than 12 kg):
Fee for Standard-size items | SAR |

Weight Handling Shipping Fee (First 500 gms) | 21 |
Weight Handling Shipping Fee (Incremental 500 gms) | 0.5 |
Easy Ship Weight-Handling Fees for Oversize items (items weighing 12 kg or above)
Fee for Oversize items | SAR |

For oversize items, the minimum chargeable weight is 1 kg. In case of items that weigh more than 1 kg, you will be charged in multiples of the price applicable for each kg. For example, the Amazon Easy Ship Weight-Handling Fees for 5kg package will amount to 27 SAR i.e. 23 SAR (charge for 1st kg) + 4 SAR (1 SAR for each additional kg).
