About the Delhivery International Rate Calculator
Shipping internationally from India requires precise calculations to budget effectively. The Delhivery International Rate Calculator is designed to help e-commerce sellers, exporters, and individuals estimate the cost of sending parcels or documents abroad using Delhivery's logistics network. Unlike domestic shipping, international costs are heavily influenced by "Chargeable Weight," which considers the dimensions of your package, not just the scale weight.
How Chargeable Weight is Calculated
International courier companies, including Delhivery, use two methods to determine the weight of a shipment:
- Actual (Dead) Weight: The physical weight of the package as measured on a weighing scale (in Kilograms).
- Volumetric (Dimensional) Weight: A calculation based on the space the package occupies in the aircraft.
The formula for Volumetric Weight used in this calculator is:
(Length × Width × Height in cm) / 5000
The carrier will charge based on whichever is higher: the Actual Weight or the Volumetric Weight. This is known as the Chargeable Weight.
Pricing Zones and Estimations
International shipping rates vary by destination zones. Our calculator groups countries into common logistics zones to estimate pricing:
- Zone 1 (USA/Canada): Typically higher volume routes but longer distances.
- Zone 2 (UK/Europe): Moderate pricing structures.
- Zone 3 (Middle East/UAE): Often cheaper due to proximity and high flight frequency from India.
- Zone 4 (Australia/NZ): Higher rates due to distance and remote area surcharges.
Additional Surcharges
When using Delhivery or similar courier partners for international shipments, the base freight rate is rarely the final price. You must account for:
- Fuel Surcharge: A variable percentage (usually 10-20%) added to the freight charge to offset fluctuating oil prices.
- GST: In India, an 18% Goods and Services Tax is applicable on the total service value.
- Remote Area Fee: If the delivery address is in a remote location, additional fees may apply (not calculated in this basic tool).
Tips for Reducing International Shipping Costs
To get the best rates on your Delhivery international shipments:
- Optimize Packaging: Since volumetric weight can increase your costs, use the smallest box possible that still protects your item. Avoid "air shipping" empty space.
- Consolidate Shipments: Sending one 5kg package is often cheaper per kg than sending five 1kg packages.
- Accurate Declarations: Ensure your commercial invoice value is accurate to avoid customs delays and unexpected duties at the destination.
