How it works

Shipping from China is one of the most price-driven requests in logistics: the client compares several forwarders and goes with whoever quoted a price first. The quiz gives them that number right away. First, the cargo type: light but bulky, compact and light, heavy and bulky, or compact but heavy. Then volume in cubic feet and weight in pounds, both on sliders, the transit time and shipping method, insurance and packaging.

In the template, the transit time also sets the method: 6–8 days is air, 8–20 is truck, 20–29 is rail, 29–45 is sea. That's convenient for the client: they choose by timeline, not by jargon. If you don't offer some of these methods, remove the extra options. There's one caveat about the formula: in the original template, the cost is calculated by weight, and volume isn't part of the calculation. Forwarders usually charge by whichever is higher, actual or dimensional weight, so for light, bulky cargo add volume to the formula; otherwise the price will come out too low.

Honesty matters in another way too: customs clearance, duties and import restrictions on certain goods aren't part of shipping, and it's best to say so in the result. The template's gift, a checklist of customs clearance documents, is a great bonus that importers genuinely need; keep a discount only if it's actually running. The estimate is preliminary: the total depends on cargo density and the rate on the day of the request.

FAQ
In the template, the cargo weight is multiplied by the rate for the selected method (air, truck, rail or sea), and insurance and packaging are added on top. The client enters the volume separately, but it isn't part of the formula: if you price light, bulky cargo by volume, add it to the calculation.

The weight from the slider is multiplied by the value of the selected transit time and shipping method, and insurance and packaging are added as separate values. You see the total right under the formula in the Results step.
Only weight is used in the original formula. For light, bulky cargo, add volume to the formula: forwarders usually charge by whichever measure is higher, and without it the price will come out too low.
No, those are separate costs, and it's worth saying so in the result. It's also best to mention import restrictions on certain goods up front.
