5. How do I know how much is my cargo rate?
- Actual weight of shipment in kilograms
- Length, width and height of shipment in centimeters
Next, we have to compute for the volume weight of your shipment using this formula: L x W x H / 3,500 (Fixed value)
Sample Computation
Actual Weight | 4 kg |
Length | 45 cm |
Width | 13 cm |
Height | 36 cm |
Formula : L x W x H / 3,500 (Fixed value)
Computation : 45 cm x 13 cm x 36 cm / 3,500 = 6 kg (Volume weight)
We compare the actual weight of 4 kg and volume weight of 6 kg
For this shipment, we will use 6 kg as basis for pricing. We follow whichever is higher between the actual weight and volume weight. The chosen higher weight of 6 kg is known as the chargeable weight.
ABest Express charges P180 for the first 3 kg of Cargo Rate and P70 for every additional kilo in excess of 3 kg.
Therefore,
P180 | – (Basic price for first 3 kg cargo rate) | |
+ | P210 | – (3 additional kilos x P70 per kg) |
P390 | – Your cargo’s shipping fee |
Please take note that valuation charge will also be added to this.
