Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the shipping estimates?
Our calculator provides estimates based on standard carrier rates and typical pricing structures. Actual costs may vary slightly depending on additional services, exact package dimensions, insurance, and current carrier promotions. We recommend using these estimates as a starting point for comparison.
What factors affect shipping costs?
Shipping costs are influenced by several factors including package weight, dimensions, origin and destination locations, delivery speed, package type, and any additional services like insurance or signature confirmation. International shipments also factor in customs and duties.
Can I use this for both domestic and international shipping?
Yes! The Delivery Calculator works for both domestic and international shipments. Simply select your origin and destination countries, and the tool will automatically adjust pricing based on whether you're shipping locally or internationally.
Which carriers are included in the comparison?
Our calculator compares rates from major carriers including DHL Express, FedEx International, UPS Worldwide, USPS Priority, and local courier services. This gives you a comprehensive view of your shipping options.
Why do carriers have different delivery times?
Carriers offer various service levels balancing speed and cost. Express services like DHL and FedEx prioritize quick delivery with higher prices, while economy options like USPS Priority take longer but cost less. Choose based on your urgency and budget.
Can I save or export my shipping comparisons?
Yes! After calculating your shipping costs, use the "Export Comparison" button to download a text file with all carrier rates and delivery times. This makes it easy to reference later or share with clients.
What if my package weight is between categories?
Always round up to the nearest weight increment when estimating costs. Carriers typically charge based on actual or dimensional weight (whichever is greater), so it's better to overestimate slightly than be surprised by additional charges.
Do these prices include customs and duties for international shipments?
No, the displayed prices are carrier shipping fees only. International shipments may incur additional customs duties, taxes, and processing fees depending on the destination country and package contents. Check with local customs authorities for specific requirements.
How can I reduce my shipping costs?
Consider these strategies: use lighter packaging materials, consolidate multiple items into one shipment, choose slower delivery options when possible, negotiate bulk rates with carriers if you ship frequently, and compare multiple carriers before making a decision.
Is insurance included in these estimates?
Basic carrier liability is typically included, but additional insurance for high-value items costs extra. We recommend adding insurance for valuable shipments, as it's usually a small percentage of the item's value and provides important protection.
