Delivery cost from the USA
- How to calculate the delivery cost
The cost of delivery services is calculated according to the parcel's actual weight or dimensions (volumetric weight). The greater of the actual weight or volumetric weight is used
If the parcel's invoiced value exceeds €200, a fee on the invoiced value is added to the delivery rate.
Actual weight
It is weighed at the branch and the sorting center to determine the value
Volumetric weight
Reveals how much space a parcel will require in a vehicle. It is calculated by the formula: Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm) / 4 000
Calculation example
The construction set weighs 2 kg and has the following dimensions when packed: 30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm.
Parcel weight calculation:
- actual weight: = 2 kg
- volumetric weight: = 30*30*30/4,000 = 6.75 kg
The rate will be calculated by the higher weight value – 6.75 kg.
- How to calculate the fee on the shipment's invoiced value
If the parcel's invoiced value exceeds €200, a fee on the invoiced value is added to the delivery rate.
- Up to €200 is included in the rate
- Over €200: +0.5% of the invoiced value to the delivery rates
Calculation example
There are 2 parcels sent: a coffee maker and a construction set. A coffee maker costs €50, and a construction set costs €230.
A fee to be added to the delivery rate:
- Parcel with a coffee maker: no fee
- Parcel with a construction set: €230*0.5% = €1.15 to the delivery rates
