A shipping calculator can help businesses and customers to understand the cost to deliver a product – before they ship it or buy it. Instead of estimating or guessing freight costs, a user enters the details of a package – dimensions, weight, delivery destination, and shipping method preferences – and receives shipping costs instantly. This allows a customer to better plan their budget and make the cost vs transit time decision based on inconvenience, time of delivery or affordability, or all three.

For businesses, a shipping calculator helps to simplify logistics. Instead of calling or emailing someone to find out shipping rates, estimates are available almost instantly. Customers can get estimates for air, sea or express on their local or international shipments. This makes the cost vs ship time process so much easier for the end user.

A shipping calculator with pricing transparency, real time shipping estimates, and an easy user experience provides a better experience to solve logistics decisions faster and help provide confidence in any conversion process.
