How photo package weight estimates work
Oshippy uses item photos and package presets to suggest weight for USPS and UPS labels. We are honest about the limits — your phone cannot weigh a box — and you stay in control before checkout.
Honest estimates, not magic
What the photo is for
A clear photo helps identify the item category and suggest a reasonable weight with your package preset. It is not a digital scale.
You confirm before you pay
Every estimate is editable. If something looks light or heavy, change it — accuracy protects you from later carrier fees.
When to weigh manually
Unusual, dense, or heavy packages may need a real scale. Oshippy will ask when it is unsure. You can also use a free counter scale — see free weighing options.
