Reading the result

The figure above is a range, not a quote. It comes from a census of 96 entries collected on 2026-10-05, scaled by the inputs you entered. Where a segment is a published figure rather than a modelled range, the result table says so on the row itself.

A wide range is information rather than noise: it tells you which segment is uncertain. The narrowest ranges on this site are domestic delivery and insurance; the widest are international freight and duty.

What this tool does not do

Total cost — stated limits
Limit
The range comes from a census of 96 entries, not from your specific order.
It does not include storage extensions or value-added services.
Duty is modelled, not assessed — it is not tax advice.
It assumes one parcel; split shipments change the service fee per parcel.

Limits are stated rather than implied. A tool without stated limits cannot be checked.

Common questions about this tool

Tool questions
QuestionAnswer
Are the defaults reasonable?Yes — they are the census medians for the weight band and lane you are most likely to use, and every field is editable.
Do the tools store anything?No. Nothing is written to storage or sent anywhere; the hand-off between tools travels in the address bar.
Where do the ranges come from?The 96-entry census. Each range carries a sample size and a collection date on the census page.

The method behind every figure is documented on the standards page.
