How Our Shipping Rate Calculator Works

Transparent pricing with zero hidden surcharges. Learn how international shipping rates are computed so you can plan your shipment efficiently.

At SLP Express, we believe in complete clarity when it comes to shipping charges. The rate calculator above loads live retail rates from google_sheet_rates.csv — the same file UPDATE WEBSITE.bat refreshes — for FedEx, DHL, UPS Economy, UPS Express and Economy. To get the most accurate estimate, keep these key factors in mind:

1. Actual Weight vs. Volumetric Weight

International courier services charge based on the **chargeable weight**, which is the greater of the actual physical weight (measured on a scale) and the volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is calculated using the box dimensions: **Length (cm) × Width (cm) × Height (cm) / 5000**.

Pro-Tip: To minimize your cost, pack items tightly to avoid oversized boxes, or take advantage of our **free professional packing service** at pickup where our experts will optimize your box volume for you.

Shipping Rates FAQ

Common questions about international shipping charges, remote surcharges, and custom duties.

Are the shipping rates inclusive of GST?

Standard carrier rates are subject to 18% GST (Goods and Services Tax) in India. The quotes generated by our calculator reflect the base carrier rates. The final GST will be added transparently at the time of final booking.

How is volumetric weight calculated?

International carriers charge based on either the actual weight or volumetric weight, whichever is higher. The formula is: Length × Width × Height (in centimeters) / 5000. Our drivers carry calibrated scales and measuring tape to provide precise doorstep calculations.

Do you charge extra for doorstep pickup and packing?

No! Same-day doorstep pickup anywhere in Hyderabad, export-quality corrugated boxes, bubble wrapping, and specialized leak-proof pickle sealing are Free home pickup service all over Hyderabad and included in your rate.

Will my receiver have to pay customs duty abroad?

Most personal gifts and low-value shipments clear customs duty-free under destination country de-minimis limits (e.g., USD 800 in the USA). For medicines and special food items, we prepare precise compliance paperwork to help clear customs smoothly without any extra charges.

Honest pricing & service — your questions answered

Trusted by wholesale & retail partners across Hyderabad · 98% customs success rate

Are you a direct DHL, FedEx and UPS aggregator?

Yes — SLP Express is a direct, official bulk aggregator for DHL, FedEx, UPS and Aramex. We hand the carriers large daily volumes, so we earn wholesale rates and pass the saving to you — typically up to 30–40% below direct/retail carrier prices, for the exact same carriers and service.

If your rates are lower, is delivery slower or different?

No. Your parcel moves on the same DHL, FedEx or UPS network with the same transit times as booking direct — you simply pay the aggregator (wholesale) price instead of the retail counter price. Same carrier, same speed, lower cost.

How can you offer wholesale rates on a single parcel?

We are a high-volume aggregator serving 30,000+ customers across Hyderabad. That bulk volume earns partner pricing from the carriers, and even your single parcel gets the bulk rate.

Why is my courier quote cheaper somewhere else?

A low per-kg quote is usually a base rate — before fuel surcharge (15–25%) and 18% GST, which add about ₹300–400/kg. A ₹600/kg quote often becomes ₹900–1,000/kg at billing. SLP's rate is all-inclusive — fuel, GST, free pickup, 3-layer packing and customs are already in it. Stripped of fuel and GST our base is about ₹550/kg, but we quote the honest final price instead of a teaser that doubles later.

Are there any hidden fees or surprise surcharges?

No. Fuel surcharge, GST, free doorstep pickup, 3-layer packing and customs handling are all included in the per-kg rate you see. What you are quoted is what you pay.

Is there a minimum weight for free pickup and packing?

No. We offer free doorstep pickup and professional 3-layer packing on any shipment — from a single document to bulk cargo, with no minimum weight.

Is my shipment insured against loss?

Yes. If your shipment is lost, we cover the value of your items up to ₹15,000, at no extra charge.

Will my parcel get stuck in customs, and what if a duty is charged?

Our 20+ years of export invoicing and packing keep shipments moving through customs smoothly, with a 98% clearance success rate. If a duty is ever wrongly applied, our in-house dispute form plus correct invoicing get it waived or refunded in around 90% of cases — keeping your shipment low-risk.

How do I track my shipment?

We connect directly to DHL, FedEx and UPS systems for live, real-time tracking. You also get a WhatsApp tracking link the moment your pickup is done — followed end-to-end to delivery, with our team available 24/7 for any query.

How long does international delivery take?

Typically DHL 2–4 working days, FedEx 3–5 working days, and UPS 3–6 working days to most destinations.

What is volumetric weight?

Couriers charge the higher of actual weight and volumetric weight (length × width × height in cm ÷ 5000). A large but light box can be billed on its size — we pack tight so you are billed on real weight, keeping cost down.

Do you provide a GST invoice for businesses?

Yes — we issue full GST tax invoices for business and bulk shippers.

We update our rates every week against live carrier and fuel costs, and any change reflects on the website immediately — so your quote is never stale.
