Each courier partner prices its own network, fuel surcharges, and destination-country handling differently -- comparing multiple quotes is the only way to find the best rate for your specific route.
Rates & Charges
Why do different couriers quote different prices for the same shipment?
What is chargeable weight?
The higher of actual weight and volumetric weight (length x width x height divided by a volumetric divisor, commonly 5000) -- couriers always bill whichever is greater.
Are customs duties included in the quoted price?
Not usually -- most quotes cover freight only; duty and taxes are assessed separately by the destination country's customs authority and may be billed to the recipient or collected at booking depending on the courier's terms.
Why did my final price differ from the initial quote?
A mismatch between declared weight/dimensions and the courier's own measurement at pickup is the most common reason -- always weigh and measure your package accurately before booking.
Do rates change frequently?
Yes -- fuel surcharges and peak-season surcharges can change rates with little notice; always check a fresh quote close to your actual ship date.
