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.
