How the price is worked out
Three parts, nothing hidden
Your total is the chargeable weight multiplied by the rate, plus a flat handling fee on outbound cargo. Chargeable weight is your actual weight plus a pallet allowance, banded by how much you are sending.
| Your actual weight | Pallet allowance |
|---|---|
| 1 – 19 kg | + 2 kg |
| 20 – 30 kg | + 3 kg |
| 31 – 40 kg | + 4 kg |
| 41 – 50 kg | + 5 kg |
| 51 kg and above | + 10 kg |
| Worked example | 24.6 kg to Lagos |
| Actual weight | 24.60 kg |
| Pallet allowance | + 3.00 kg |
| Chargeable weight | 27.60 kg |
| Rate to Lagos | £5.85 / kg |
| Freight cost | £161.46 |
| Handling fee | £20.00 |
| Total to pay | £181.46 |
Sending from Nigeria to the UK? The weight is worked out the same way, but there is no handling fee.
