Worked Examples

Example 1: Domestic Document Shipping

Let's calculate the cost for shipping a document weighing 0.5 pounds from New York (10001) to Los Angeles (90001) using DHL's Standard service.

Parameter	Value
Shipment Type	Document
Weight (lbs)	0.5
Service	Standard
Origin ZIP	10001
Destination ZIP	90001

Using the formula:

Shipping Cost = $5.00 + (0.5 × $2.50) + (2400 × $0.01) + $3.00 Shipping Cost = $5.00 + $1.25 + $24.00 + $3.00 Shipping Cost = $33.25

Example 2: International Package Shipping

Now let's calculate the cost for shipping a package weighing 10 pounds from New York (10001) to London (SW1A 1AA) using DHL's Express service.

Parameter	Value
Shipment Type	Package
Weight (lbs)	10
Service	Express
Origin ZIP	10001
Destination	London, UK

Using the formula:

Shipping Cost = $20.00 + (10 × $5.00) + (4000 × $0.02) + $15.00 Shipping Cost = $20.00 + $50.00 + $80.00 + $15.00 Shipping Cost = $165.00
