Analysis of courier rates

How to read shipping rates

Many customers find it difficult and frustrating to get a comprehensive overview of rates for shipping and transporting goods from one location to another. That’s why we’ve decided to create a mini guide on the topic, helpful in dispelling any doubts.

What’s included in shipping rates?

To be able to read and understand shipping rates, it’s necessary to have some knowledge, even if only superficial, of the elements that make up the phases of goods transportation. Generally, almost all shipments include these steps:

• Delivery planning
• Documentation check and preparation
• Goods consolidation
• Loading onto the transport vehicle
• Goods delivery

It’s important to negotiate and obtain cost-effective transportation rates, but be cautious of additional cost items that can sometimes significantly affect the final transportation price. The affordability of rates is also seen in the clarity and simplicity with which they are presented.
