E-commerce Logistics Made Simple

Cargosender's e-commerce integration connects your online store directly to our carrier network. When a customer places an order, a shipping label is generated automatically, the carrier is booked, and tracking information is sent to both you and your customer. You save time, reduce errors, and access volume pricing — even as a small online seller.

E-commerce Shipping Benefits

E-commerce Shipping Cost Factors

Weight & volumetric size

Carriers charge whichever is greater: actual or volumetric weight (L×W×H cm ÷ 5000).

Origin & destination

Route zone determines the base rate. Remote or island destinations carry access surcharges.

Service level

Economy vs express. Express costs 40–80% more but offers next-day or time-guaranteed delivery.

Fuel surcharge

All carriers apply a fuel surcharge updated monthly — typically 10–25% of the base rate.

Customs (international)

Cross-border shipments may attract import duties and VAT at destination — declared value required.

E-commerce Shipping Savings

Volume Tiers

More orders = lower cost

Shipping rates decrease at 50, 200, and 500 orders/month. Platform tracks your volume and applies tiers automatically.

Economy Default

Offer free economy shipping

Setting economy as your free shipping option and charging for express adds revenue while keeping base cost low.

PUDO Delivery

Pickup point delivery

Parcel locker delivery (PUDO) is 15–25% cheaper than home delivery and has a lower failed delivery rate.

E-commerce Shipping Surcharges

E-commerce parcel rates on Cargosender already include all carrier surcharges — fuel, security, and handling — in the displayed price. No surprise additions on the monthly invoice.
