Air and
ocean freight rates are calculated using shipment weight.
When comparing freight
rates, the
pricing will usually be given to you as a cost per kilogram. However, in freight, weight is determined either
by
the gross weight (i.e. what you see when you put the shipment on a scale) or volumetric weight (i.e. the size
of
the shipment). We wrote an article about this HERE.
After
the
size, some suppliers have additional fees. These may be oversized fees (cartons too big), operations fees
(flat
costs), and remote locations fees.
COVID,
COVID, and COVID!
We know you're tired of hearing about it, and we're
definitely
tired of talking about it! Unfortunately the reality is that logistics is still heavily impacted by outbreaks
at
ports and a reduced number of flights.
Prior to the pandemic, air freight rates were available for
around
US$ 7.00/kg during peak season (heavy shipping volume), and around $US 4.50 during slow season (significantly
less
shipping volume). At COVID's peak we were seeing close to US$ 20.00/kg! Nowadays pricing is floating in
the
US$12.00/kg range depending on delivery time and whether tax and duty are rolled into the price. Ocean freight
saw
a less extreme increase but was nonetheless seeing significant price increases as well.
