How it works
The courier bills the higher of the actual weight and the dimensional weight (length × width × height ÷ divisor), rounded up to the next 0.5 kg. That weight × your rate per kg, or the minimum charge if higher, gives the freight. Fuel surcharge is a percentage on top, then any fixed fees.
Rates differ between couriers and change often, so enter the numbers from your own rate card or account.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my parcel charged more than its weight?
Light but bulky parcels are charged by size. A smaller box lowers the dimensional weight.
What is a fuel surcharge?
A percentage couriers add to the freight charge to cover fuel costs. It changes every month or week.
