Open a free Cargosender Business Account and access contract rates, monthly invoicing, multi-user management, and a dedicated account manager.
Business shipping is different from occasional personal use. Companies need predictable costs, consolidated invoicing, multi-sender accounts, and the ability to hand shipments to multiple employees. Cargosender Business gives you a fixed rate card per carrier per zone, a single monthly invoice, API access for your order management system, and a dedicated account manager to resolve issues fast.
Access pre-negotiated volume rates from €0.001/g — as low as the tariffs used by major e-commerce companies.
Consolidate all your shipments into a single invoice with 30-day payment terms. No need to pay per shipment.
Add unlimited team members, set permission levels, and track who created each shipment.
Monitor spending by carrier, route, and cost centre. Export reports for finance reconciliation.
Tell us how many shipments per month and your main routes.
We send a tailored rate card within 24 hours.
Log in and book at your negotiated rates any time.
One invoice per month with all your shipments. 30-day payment terms.

Business rates are indicative and depend on your monthly volume. Contact us for a personalised rate card.
The more you ship per month, the lower your rate per shipment. Tiers are usually based on total monthly spend or parcel count.
Your rate card is tailored to your regular lanes (e.g., Portugal to Germany). Rates for lanes you use most are optimised first.
Splitting volume across multiple carriers (DHL for express, DPD for economy) often gives better overall rates than using a single carrier.
Business accounts can negotiate a fixed fuel surcharge percentage for a 6 or 12-month period, removing monthly pricing uncertainty.
Shipping within Portugal is subject to 23% VAT. Intra-EU shipping services are generally zero-rated for VAT purposes.
Business accounts have a dedicated claims handler for lost or damaged shipments. Claims are typically resolved in 5–10 business days.
Ideal for small businesses and startups. Discounts across economy parcel and standard freight services.
Priority support, fixed fuel surcharge, and enhanced discounts on express services.
Dedicated account manager, API integration support, SLA guarantees, and custom carrier contract terms.
Business accounts can lock in a fixed fuel surcharge percentage for quarterly or annual contracts. This protects your cost projections from monthly fuel price fluctuations. Without a locked rate, the fuel surcharge is updated monthly in line with the published IATA fuel price index (for air) or Rotterdam bunker price (for sea).
No minimum spend is required to open a business account. However, volume-tier discounts kick in at €200–€500 of monthly spend. The more you ship, the better your rate.
Yes. Business accounts support multiple sender addresses and cost centres. Each user can have their own login with controlled access.
All shipments in a calendar month are consolidated into a single PDF invoice sent on the 1st of the following month, with 30-day payment terms by bank transfer or direct debit.
No. The web platform is fully functional without API integration. For businesses shipping 50+ parcels/day, our REST API allows direct integration with WooCommerce, Shopify, SAP, and custom ERP systems.
