Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Cost – Related

FCL and LCL (Sea Freight)

Sea freight costs are determined by multiple factors. The transportation distance is a major determinant, with longer hauls, such as shipments from Asia to Europe, incurring higher costs compared to shorter – distance routes within the same continent. Additionally, the weight and volume of the cargo play a significant role. Heavier and bulkier items generally cost more to ship. The bunker adjustment factor, which reflects the cost of fuel, and market fluctuations, such as changes in shipping demand and supply, also impact the final price.

DHL Express

DHL Express calculates costs based on the weight, dimensions of the package, and the destination. For example, a small, lightweight package shipped to a nearby location will cost less than a large, heavy item being sent to a distant country. They also take into account factors like urgency; if a customer requires express delivery, additional charges may apply. Any special handling requirements, such as shipping fragile or hazardous items, will also influence the cost.
