Ozon Global shipping costs consist of three layers: the destination tariff (Fix + ¥/gram), a 2% platform fee on the logistics cost, and—in case of non-redemption—return logistics at the forward shipping rate. You must calculate all three, otherwise your paper margin will not match the actual one.
Forward logistics
The tariff depends on the scoring group (price × weight) and service level. Rate ranges for all carriers are in the rFBS directory, and ready-made examples for typical products are in the group calculations. OGL is ~14% cheaper than rFBS Economy: tariffs.
What is often forgotten in calculations
- a 2% fee on the logistics cost — on top of the tariff
- volumetric weight in Big groups: L×W×H ÷ 12 — a box can cost more than the product itself
- return logistics in case of a return — charged at the forward rate at the time of the service: full breakdown of return costs
- drop-off point services — paid directly to the partner
How to reduce costs
- pack exactly as needed, without excess — every extra 100 g is multiplied by the batch size
- compare rFBS and OGL for your specific group — the difference can be up to 1.5 times
- for stable items — test the bonded warehouse scheme: benefits of a bonded warehouse
Frequently asked questions
Why is the actual deduction higher than the tariff?
Three common reasons: the 2% logistics fee, volumetric weight in Big groups, and gross weight with packaging that turned out to be higher than declared. It is worth reconciling deductions with calculations for the first ten orders of each new item.
Is logistics refunded if cancelled before shipment?
If the shipment has not been handed over to the carrier, the service has not been rendered and is not charged. Once handed over, logistics costs are incurred; cancellation "in transit" turns into a return with all associated costs.
How to choose the cheapest method for a specific product?
Based on the "scoring group × service level" combination: ready-made examples show the cheapest carrier in each scenario, including OGL.
What components make up the total Ozon Global shipping cost?
The total cost includes the destination tariff based on weight and price, a 2% platform fee on the logistics cost, and return logistics charged at the forward rate if a product is not redeemed.
Why does my shipping cost change significantly when my product weight increases slightly?
Crossing a weight threshold between scoring groups changes the tariff abruptly. Because tariffs are based on scoring groups, a small increase in weight can move your product into a different group with a higher cost.
How can I reduce my logistics expenses as a seller?
You can reduce costs by packing items exactly as needed to avoid excess weight, comparing rFBS and OGL rates for your specific product group, and testing the bonded warehouse scheme for stable items.
