Real numbers, not a guess — computed the same way our quote calculator prices your shipment: chargeable weight is the higher of actual weight or volumetric weight (L × W × H in cm ÷ 5000 for air), and every air shipment is billed for at least 2.5 kg.

A box of beauty & personal care products
18" x 14" x 14" box — skincare, cosmetics, hair products

Wireless earbuds is light enough that the 2.5 kg minimum applies — you're paying for weight the shipment doesn't have. Consolidating it with a heavier item like a gaming laptop (charged on its own 2.8 kg) usually costs the same or less than shipping both separately.
