How Shipping Cost Calculation Works

The Shipping Calculator estimates shipping costs based on package dimensions, weight, origin, destination, and carrier service level. Compare rates across carriers to find the most cost-effective shipping option for your packages and parcels.

Formula

Dimensional Weight = (Length x Width x Height) / Dimensional Factor

Key Features

  • Estimate costs based on weight and dimensions
  • Compare rates across multiple carriers
  • Support for domestic and international shipping
  • Factor in dimensional weight pricing

Pro Tip

Carriers charge by the greater of actual weight or dimensional weight. Dimensional weight = (L x W x H) / dimensional factor (usually 5000 for cm or 139 for inches). Use the smallest possible box to avoid paying for air.
