How It Works: Shipping Cost Calculation Explained
Our shipping calculator estimates costs based on several key factors that affect shipping prices:
| Factor | Description | Impact on Shipping Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Package Weight | The actual weight of your package in kilograms. | Heavier packages cost more to ship. |
| Dimensional Weight | Weight calculated from package dimensions (L×W×H÷5000 in kg). | Carriers charge based on whichever is greater: actual weight or dimensional weight. |
| Distance | The shipping distance between origin and destination countries. | Greater distances typically result in higher shipping costs. |
| Shipping Method | The speed and service level of delivery (standard, express, etc.). | Faster shipping methods cost more than slower ones. |
| Insurance | Optional coverage for lost, damaged, or stolen items. | Insurance adds a premium based on the declared value. |
| Tracking Options | Level of shipment tracking provided. | Advanced tracking features may add to the shipping cost. |
| Packaging | Type of packaging used for the shipment. | Special packaging or carrier-provided boxes may incur additional fees. |
| Fuel Surcharge | Additional fee to offset fluctuating fuel prices. | Typically calculated as a percentage of the base shipping rate. |
Calculation Method:
- Base shipping rate is determined by billable weight and distance
- Billable weight is the greater of actual weight or dimensional weight
- Fuel surcharges are added as a percentage of the base rate (varies by carrier)
- Insurance costs are calculated based on the declared value
- Additional fees may apply for special services or handling requirements
- All rates are updated to reflect 2025 shipping costs from major carriers
