Why does shipping cost double if the shipment value is less?

So I was trying out shipment calculator and to my surprise the shipping charges doubled when I selected the shipment value to be less than 1000 rupees.

Why would this happen? If the shipping cost has to vary, it should go up for a high value shipment. Isn't it?

  1. Depend on product category
  2. Some time charges varies as per area/city/distance & service availability
  3. may be your shipment value/weight fall under minimum charges category
  4. With increase weight, charges keep reducing Per K.g.
