Formula Used
Shipping Cost Calculation
The base shipping cost is calculated using the following formula:
Base Cost = (Weight × Rate per kg) + Service Fee + Insurance Fee
Where:
- Weight = Package weight in kilograms
- Rate per kg = Varies by service (typically $2.50-$5.00/kg for international)
- Service Fee = Additional charge for selected service level
- Insurance Fee = 2-5% of package value if insurance is selected
This formula provides a starting point for your shipping estimate. Actual costs may be higher due to additional fees and surcharges.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the shipping cost for a 10kg package using the Standard International service with insurance:
- Weight: 10 kg
- Service: Standard International ($3.50/kg)
- Insurance: Yes (3% of $500 value = $15)
- Service Fee: $25
Calculation:
(10 × $3.50) + $25 + $15 = $35 + $25 + $15 = $75
This is an estimated base cost. Your actual shipping cost may vary.
