ShopandBox has a shipping calculator to help you estimate your international shipping cost from multiple origination/destination countries. The shipping calculator is based on our partnership with DHL Express and a number of logistics companies to give you one of the most competitive rates in the market for popular shipping destinations.
Here’s how to use the shipping calculator:
- Select a country you would like to buy from in From Country
- Select a country you would like to ship to in To Country
- Select Kilogram/Centimetre (Metric) or Pounds/Inches (Imperial)
- Enter the Destination Zipcode you would like to send the order to
- Enter the Weight (either in kilograms or in pounds)
- Enter the Dimensions* in width x height x depth
- Click on Calculate
Dimensions are used to calculate volumetric weight for bulky items – it is a standard procedure for logistics companies to charge the higher between volumetric weight and gross weight.
For example, volumetric weight is used for items such as pillows or surfboards – which are generally bulky but usually lighter in weight. Whereas gross weight is used for items such as books or vitamins – which take less space but are generally quite heavy.
