WHY DO PRICES DIFFER?

Unlike standard courier mail, international freight container costs depend primarily on the physical volume (CBM) of your items.

Here are the main parameters that influence shipping costs:

Volume (CBM): The space the cargo occupies inside the container. Larger items require higher rates.
Weight: Heavy materials may cap container weight restrictions, requiring adjustments.
Stackability: Items that are flat and sturdy allow other cargo to be stacked on top, maximizing container utilization. Fragile or non-stackable items occupy extra space and cost more.
Handling & Shape: Odd-shaped or dangerous items require custom handling.

Volume vs Weight Comparison

Why two items of the exact same weight can cost different amounts to ship:

Heavy Box

Small Heavy Box

Weight: 20kg
Volume: 0.05 CBM

Lower Rate

Large Box

Large Light Box

Weight: 20kg
Volume: 0.80 CBM

Requires More Space

* Although both boxes weigh 20kg, the Large Light Box occupies 16 times more container space, thus costing more to ship.
