Why a big light box can cost more than a small heavy one — and how to measure and pack to pay less.
What to know
Every shipment is different, but a few rules help everyone: describe your cargo well, measure it before you book, and pick the mode that fits the deadline — not just the price.
Our advice
- Get an instant price with the calculator before you commit.
- Share your monthly volume to unlock contract rates.
- Insure high-value cargo — it costs only 1% of the declared value.
