How can we help?
Shipping calculators are essential tools for estimating freight costs based on the weight and volume of cargo. They allow businesses to plan budgets, optimize packing, and choose the most cost-effective mode of transport.
How They Work:
- Air Freight: Charges are calculated based on chargeable weight, which is either gross weight (kg) or volumetric weight (LxWxH cm ÷ 6000).
- Ocean Freight: Costs are usually based on container type (20ft, 40ft, or LCL by cubic meters).
- Courier/Parcel: Charges are calculated using the greater of actual weight or dimensional weight.
Benefits:
- Provides transparent cost estimates before shipping.
- Helps businesses avoid under/over-packing errors.
- Enables comparison of costs across air, sea, and courier modes.
