FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find the rate per kg?

Check your carrier's published rate card for your shipping zone and service level.

What is the base fee for?

Many carriers charge a flat handling or pickup fee on top of the weight-based rate.

Does this account for dimensional (volumetric) weight?

No — some carriers charge based on package size instead of actual weight if the package is large but light; check whichever is greater for your carrier.

Can I use pounds instead of kilograms?

Yes, as long as your rate per unit matches (e.g. rate per pound).
