01

The same product can have different shipping costs after packaging because carriers use chargeable weight.

Fast routes usually cost more, while sea freight can be better for bulky or less urgent cargo.

03

Restricted items may require special routes even if they are lightweight.

Workflow

What to do next

  1. Collect carton count, actual weight, and packed dimensions.
  2. Confirm destination country, address type, and delivery deadline.
  3. Check whether cargo has batteries, liquids, powders, magnets, brand sensitivity, or fragile components.
  4. Compare express, air, sea, or consolidated routes after package data is clear.

Before quoting

Details JTL should check

  • Packed carton weight and dimensions matter more than product listing weight.
  • The destination country, address type, and delivery deadline change the route recommendation.
  • Consolidation can reduce fragmented shipping when products come from several sellers or suppliers.
