How does it work?

You can choose between metric units (centimeters and kilograms) and imperial units (inches and pounds). To estimate costs for a single item, just enter your item’s weight, dimensions and any additional details that apply. Make sure your item measurements include the manufacturer packaging before it’s packaged for shipping.

If you have multiple items, switch to the Bulk estimate tab to quickly calculate costs for your catalog. You’ll need to download the template, then fill in details for each item. Columns marked with asterisks are required. When you’re done, upload the template and then download a new file with the estimated costs in a new tab. It will look like this:
