why the shipping weight is 10 lbs while the item weight is only 4 lbs

Likely the difference between actual product weight and shipping "dimensional weight".

Because of the size and weight of this product, there is an extra $10.00 shipping surcharge on this item.

Hi, we were having the shipping discount, so we had to put it as lower weight, if you see the product discruption, it shows the actual shipping weight. BUT, we are having a promotion for our Independence day sale, all our bases are FREE SHIPPING!

The description says that the shipping weight is 95 pounds. I would say the packaging was under 10 pounds of that weight.

This item is 460 lbs so will ship via common carrier (truck freight) directly from the manufacturer.

Well, I can't remember how much the weight was back in 2010, but the order says that the shipping was $9.99. It is not a heavy unit, in fact it is light even with the water in it.

Laura, The shipping weight reflects the size of the shipment. FedEx rates packages by weight. However, if a package is very large and item can ship at a rate that is equivalent to a heavier weight than actual because it is taking up extra space. This is the case with this product. We show this item ships at a FedEx minimum weight of 101 lbs. Our shipping price is set to charge at the 101 lb weight. Thank you for your inquiry. - GregRobert Enterprises.

Shipping weight is listed as being 10.3 pounds. Take away the box and packing material---maybe it weighs around 7 to 8 pounds.

The shipping weight is probably over a pound. The unit is very light and is less than a pound. Are you referring to shipping weight or the unit itself?

I think it's because the item weight is one speaker, and the ship the speakers in one box I believe. So shipping weight is both speakers together. Could be wrong, but that's how I think it works.

Interesting that you are getting different answers but mine is slightly under 4 pounds.

The owner's manual indicates it weighs 2.1 kg which converts to roughly 4 lbs. 10 oz.

Hi the shipping weight was accurate. I was actually shocked at how little it cost when here. The shipping weight is 4lbs.

Not sure why it says 4 lbs. The shipping weight is 2 lbs so it will weigh much less than this. I recently purchased this and its pretty light. I am not sure what its exact weight is. It feels slightly more heavy than an IPod but more solid. I definitely would recommend it.

The shipping box weighs more than the product. Product weight is insugnificant

It may be that the dimensional weight of the item -- a measure used by UPS and other shippers to calculate shipping costs for large or bulky items -- is 8.8 pounds while the actual weight is only 3 pounds. For questions related to a specific order, I suggest you contact the seller directly using the Amazon email system.

I just took delivery in a set of 2. It's much closer to 10 pounds or more as boxed. But with Amazon prime shipping was free...
