[QUOTE="TheBrownNote, post: 3668457, member: 70462"] Greetings. How this issue had been explained to me. Let's say a shipper is sending out multiple label shipments (1 of... Etc.) Location has 10 packages of let's say nuts and bolts. Now, the shipper KNOWS it's a total of 500lbs. For ease of shipper, UPS allows the total weight (in this case 500lbs) to be spread evenly through out the ten packages ( 1 of 10,etc.etc.etc.), so said shipper doesn't have to take the time to actually weigh each box. Now shipper dude is just gonna stuff boxes with nuts and bolts. Eventually the last two boxes don't have as much to go in so let's say they're only 20lbs a piece, yet the label says 50lbs. This is why. The shipper is still paying for the total weight, yet now they don't have to go through the full steps of completing, in this case, 10 individual labels for this bulk stop. I hope this makes sense as like everyone on the internet, I refuse to proofread..... Edit: I proofread. [/QUOTE]
