Items can be priced three different ways; this can be very confusing to users. We have broken down the different options to better inform you when placing orders.
Catch Weight/Priced per Pound
Some items at DOT are sold as a per pound price and the customer is billed in cases. If an item is priced by the pound but sold by the case, we’ll do the math for you, so you can easily understand what you’re likely to pay. Dot will multiply the per-pound price from the bracket you’re most likely to use by the product’s net weight.
Case cost is calculated by multiplying the total weight by the net per/lb cost and dividing that total by the number of cases.
You can see if an item is catch weight on the search results page:
