Accessories: the last 300 grams
Five accessory rows, 90–260 g. The cheapest way to clear a freight step, and the easiest way to waste one.
Accessories exist to fill the gap between the parcel you have and the next 500 g step. A 90 g card holder is nearly free to add; a 260 g scarf can tip a parcel into the next band.
Check the coupon threshold before you add filler. Paying $6 of freight to use a $3 coupon is a hobby, not a saving.
The rows
Accessories rows in the 2027 sample
Sorted by packed weight, because that is the number the freight line uses.
Before you add it to a parcel
Three accessories checks
Short and specific. Each one has saved a parcel at least once.
01Weight band
Accessories in this sample runs 90–260 g. Add 120 g for packaging if the row only lists item weight.
02QC angle
Ask for the inside seam and the hem. Outside photos hide the two places that fail first.
03Coupon fit
Check whether the coupon discounts freight or goods. A shipping coupon does nothing for a single light item.
FAQ
Accessories questions

They are warehouse packed weights from the partner catalogue where available, and conservative estimates otherwise. The QC badge tells you whether a photo set exists.
