Top

5. How do I know how much is my cargo rate?

Shipper must first have the following facts:

  1. Actual weight of shipment in kilograms
  2. Length, width and height of shipment in centimeters

Next, we have to compute for the volume weight of your shipment using this formula: L x W x H / 3,500 (Fixed value)

Sample Computation

Actual Weight 4 kg
Length 45 cm
Width 13 cm
Height 36 cm

Formula : L x W x H / 3,500 (Fixed value)

Computation : 45 cm x 13 cm x 36 cm / 3,500 = 6 kg (Volume weight)

We compare the actual weight of 4 kg and volume weight of 6 kg

For this shipment, we will use 6 kg as basis for pricing. We follow whichever is higher between the actual weight and volume weight. The chosen higher weight of 6 kg is known as the chargeable weight.

ABest Express charges P180 for the first 3 kg of Cargo Rate and P70 for every additional kilo in excess of 3 kg.

Therefore,

  P180 – (Basic price for first 3 kg cargo rate)
+ P210 – (3 additional kilos x P70 per kg)
  P390 – Your cargo’s shipping fee

Please take note that valuation charge will also be added to this.

6. What if I don’t know the measurement and weight of my cargo shipment?

No worries at all. The ABest pick up couriers always carry with them measuring tape and portable weighing scale to compute for your shipment’s chargeable weight.

8. What is the valuation charge?

The customer pays the valuation charge, on top of the shipping fee. This way, ABest Express shall refund the declared value, in the very rare case that your non-document shipment gets lost.
