Whether you’re sending smaller shipments within the same province or trying to figure out how much it’ll cost to ship to your global customer base, we’ve got you covered. FlagShip’s online shipping system allows you to instantly calculate and compare an estimate on shipping, in just a few clicks.
In this blog, we’re going to break things down for you. We’ll share the basic info you need to get an estimate on shipping, talk about some add on services you might want to check out, and fill you in on the stuff that could affect how much your shipment costs.
How to calculate an estimate on shipping?
Before diving headfirst into the world of estimates, let’s gather some intel. Here’s what you’ll need to get an accurate shipping cost:
Accurate measurements: Grab your measuring tape and meticulously measure your package’s weight and dimensions (length, width, and height). Every inch count for the most precise estimate.
Know your destination details: Where are your awesome products headed? To get the most accurate quotes, make sure you know the postal code of your destination.
Speed of delivery: The delivery time is a crucial factor in ensuring accurate shipping costs. The question here arises for the businesses whether you need lightning-fast delivery or are you comfortable with a more leisurely pace? Different speeds come with different price tags. FlagShip caters to a spectrum of delivery timelines, ranging from overnight express deliveries to standard 3–7-day ground services.
We recognize that the urgency of your shipment influences both the speed and cost of our services. Opting for an overnight delivery will naturally incur a higher cost compared to our standard ground services. It is vital to consider your delivery timeline preferences before estimating shipping costs.
Special handling: Does your package require special care? Is it a fragile item or temperature-sensitive goods may require additional services, every little detail goes in impacting the shipping cost.
