What Determines Final Shipping Costs

A few main factors generally determine shipping costs:

  1. Weight or size of the package: Heavier or bulkier items typically cost more to ship.

  2. Destination: The farther the delivery, the higher the rate. Likewise, the amount of volume of shipments going to a particular destination affects how the few going to that route may be charged.

  3. Delivery speed: Express shipping is faster but typically more expensive than cargo or standard delivery.

  4. Shipment type: Items like liquids, electronics, or fragile goods may attract special handling rates.

  5. Insurance/Shipment Protection: This is dependent on the shipper, but when preferred and added, it may impact final shipping costs.
