Worked Example
Let's calculate the shipping cost for a 5kg package with dimensions 30cm × 20cm × 15cm from Mexico City to New York City using UPS Standard service.
- Weight: 5 kg
- Dimensions: 30 × 20 × 15 cm
- Dimensional Weight: (30 × 20 × 15) / 5000 = 1.8 kg
- Using UPS Standard rates: Base Rate = $15, Weight Factor = 1.2, Dimensional Rate = $0.5/kg, Handling Fee = $5
- Total Cost = ($15 × 1.2) + (1.8 × $0.5) + $5 = $18 + $0.9 + $5 = $23.90
The estimated cost for this package would be approximately $23.90.
