Worked Examples

Let's look at a couple of examples to see how the calculator works in practice.

Example 1: Standard Shipping

You need to ship 50 ship sticks, each weighing 0.5 pounds, using standard shipping over a short distance.

Using the formula:

Total Cost = (50 × 0.5) × $0.50 + $10 + $5 = 25 × $0.50 + $15 = $12.50 + $15 = $27.50

The total estimated cost for this shipment is $27.50.

Example 2: Expedited Shipping

You need to ship 100 ship sticks, each weighing 1 pound, using expedited shipping over a long distance.

Using the formula:

Total Cost = (100 × 1) × $1.20 + $10 + $20 = 100 × $1.20 + $30 = $120 + $30 = $150

The total estimated cost for this shipment is $150.
