Small businesses deserve the same shipping rates as big companies. Cargosender gives SMEs in Portugal access to 20+ carriers with volume pricing — no minimum commitment.
Small businesses in Portugal often pay retail courier rates — the same price as an individual customer. Cargosender changes that. By pooling the volume of thousands of SMEs, we negotiate collective rates with carriers and pass them on. A small business shipping 30 parcels a month through Cargosender pays rates that would otherwise require shipping 300+ monthly.
Access rates previously reserved for large shippers. Pool buying power with thousands of other Cargosender SMEs.

As volume grows, rates improve automatically.
Rates are per shipment. The lighter and smaller your parcel, the cheaper the price.
Domestic Portugal shipments are cheapest. EU adds zone surcharges. Non-EU adds customs fees.
Offer both options to customers. Economy satisfies most; express generates a premium delivery revenue stream.
Rates drop as you ship more. Even moving from 20 to 50 parcels/month reduces per-shipment cost by 10–15%.
Included in the quoted price. As your volume grows, you may qualify for fixed quarterly fuel rates.
Right-sized packaging reduces volumetric weight — a significant hidden cost saving for small businesses.
Setting economy as the default service for standard orders and reserving express for urgent ones cuts shipping costs by 30–40%.
Keeping 3–4 standard box sizes that fit your products reduces volumetric weight excess and saves on every shipment.
Booking 5 parcels in one session instead of individually saves admin time and is easier to reconcile on your monthly invoice.
All Cargosender prices shown include the carrier fuel surcharge. As a small business customer, the surcharge is updated monthly and always included transparently in your quoted price — no surprises on your monthly invoice.
Cargosender aggregates your shipments with thousands of other SMEs, giving you the collective buying power of a large company. You get rates that DHL and DPD would only offer to customers shipping 500+ parcels/month.
Yes. Cargosender's checkout widget can be embedded in your WooCommerce or Shopify store to show 2–4 carrier options at checkout — giving your customers choice while you capture their preferred option.
