An international shipping cost calculator lets you compare prices before you commit. Used well, it saves money and avoids unpleasant surprises at the counter.
What to enter
- Destination country and, if requested, postal code.
- Weight of the packed parcel in kilograms.
- Dimensions in centimetres (length, width, height).
- Value of the goods if you want insurance.
Weigh and measure the box after packing: padding and tape add weight and volume.
How to read the results
- Price: check whether it already includes fuel surcharge and any extras.
- Delivery time: express is quick; economy is cheaper but slower.
- Service type: home delivery, pickup point or signature on delivery.
- Chargeable weight: if the calculator shows it, compare with the real weight to see if volumetric weight applies.
Common mistakes
- Entering the product weight instead of the packed box.
- Forgetting that volumetric weight can be higher than real weight.
- Comparing only the price and ignoring delivery time and conditions.
- Not checking the prohibited items for the chosen carrier and country.
