Shipping & Freight Calculators
Freight charges depend on more than the scale weight of your goods. Carton dimensions, service surcharges, load density and container space can change a quote significantly.
Choose a tool for your task
Find the applicable measurement—parcel dimensional weight, cubic meters, shipment surcharges or freight-class density—then run the corresponding tool.
Compare volumetric weight with actual mass before shipping.

Open tool →A practical way to get started
- Measure before quoting
Record packed carton length, width, height and actual weight in consistent units.
- Choose the right cost driver
Check DIM weight for parcel shipments, CBM for sea freight, or pallet density for LTL.
- Verify the final tariff
Confirm oversize surcharges, container limits and carrier-specific pricing separately.
Important limitations
Carrier divisors, freight class and container clearances vary by service and contract. Use published carrier rules and a final forwarder quotation for pricing decisions.
