How are shipping rates calculated on ShipAgent?

Shipping rates on ShipAgent depend on 4 primary parameters: pickup & delivery pincodes (which determine the zone from A to E), billed weight (the higher of actual dead weight vs volumetric weight), shipment payment type (Prepaid vs COD), and your merchant volume tier. Our live engine queries multiple courier APIs simultaneously to present the lowest rates in real time.

What is volumetric weight and how is it computed?

Volumetric (or dimensional) weight accounts for the physical space a package occupies inside cargo aircraft and trucks. It is calculated using the international standard formula: (Length × Width × Height in cm) / 5000. Couriers bill whichever is higher between actual scale weight and volumetric weight.

What are COD (Cash on Delivery) charges?

COD charges cover the physical cash handling, risk mitigation, and bank transfer processing for cash orders. ShipAgent charges flat competitive rates starting at ₹30 or 1.5% of order value, with fast weekly COD remittance directly to your bank account.

Are fuel surcharges and GST included in the calculator rates?

Yes! Our interactive rate calculator presents a full itemized breakdown including base freight fee, fuel surcharge (14%), COD charges, and 18% GST so you know the exact final price per package before dispatching.

How does Return to Origin (RTO) pricing work?

If a package cannot be delivered and is returned to origin, ShipAgent applies discounted RTO forward-rate slabs (typically 40%-50% of original forward shipping cost). Additionally, our predictive AI RTO Shield helps block high-risk COD orders before dispatch.

Can I get customized high-volume rates for my brand?

Absolutely! Brands shipping over 2,500 orders per month qualify for dedicated account management, custom SLA guarantees, zero-setup API integrations, and direct contract rates. Contact our sales team for custom volume quotes.
