SHIPPING PRICES

FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION, CHANGES IN SHIPPING PRICES

Nowadays, several factors influence both domestic freight transportation rates and the current pricing trends for international shipping. The economic situation in recent years, political factors, volatile fuel prices—in short, the unpredictability of our times—also affect the freight transportation sector. The continuous changes in freight rates are not because transportation companies recklessly want to charge more for their services but because they, too, must adapt to the unstable conditions that increasingly permeate our daily lives and the price increases affecting almost every area. Labor and capacity shortages, fluctuating energy and fuel costs, rising raw material prices, wage increases, and new regulations all impact locally and internationally the cost of pallet shipping, international freight (FTL), or even express forwarding nowadays.

What Influences Domestic Freight Transportation Prices?

There is no universal rule, as domestic freight transportation prices can vary between companies. The final cost is always determined by the mileage or hourly rate, the dispatch fee of the transportation company, and other factors. It depends on how quickly the package or goods need to reach their destination, whether delivery is to the capital, its surroundings, or the countryside. If loading is also required, the cost of loaders, additional tolls, and surcharges must also be considered. Since every shipment has different parameters, it is better to request a detailed quote tailored to the job rather than making extensive guesses. Our company has been excelling in this area for a long time; we pay special attention to handling all client needs flexibly and ensuring our quotes align perfectly with unique client requests while providing high-quality services.

International Freight Prices – How Much Does It Cost?

Similar factors influence international freight prices, but here, additional costs such as tolls in different countries, customs fees, and the size, width, length, height, and weight of the shipment play a significant role in determining the final price. Whether it's international shipping or relocation, these are crucial aspects of every company's pricing, and one cannot forget that fuel prices often differ between countries, which is another influencing factor. Therefore, it's difficult to say that there is a fixed rule for pricing; instead, there are basic rates that serve as starting points. For international freight, tailored quotes are even more prevalent, making it crucial to request a preliminary quote.
