What this freight tool does
It estimates domestic (China) and international freight cost and transit time from the ship-from / ship-to addresses plus a packing list (weight, volume, carton count, cargo value). Domestic and international lanes are calculated separately: domestic pricing is banded by province and city, international pricing is banded by destination zone, and chargeable weight is the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight. Every run returns fast, standard and economy options side by side so you can size freight before quoting a customer.
Results are estimates derived from public rate structures. Actual invoicing follows the carrier's own weighing, chargeable-weight rules and current rates. Typical use: checking freight before quoting an overseas buyer, comparing domestic bulk shipments, and weighing sample-order cost against full-carton cost.
Frequently asked questions
Which shipping service levels are covered?
Three: fast, standard and economy. Price and transit time for all three are listed at once, so you can pick by the delivery date your customer needs without running three separate searches.
How do domestic and international differ?
Domestic shipments are priced by the province and city bands of the ship-from and ship-to addresses. International shipments are priced by destination zone and use chargeable weight — the greater of actual and volumetric weight — so bulky low-density cargo is usually charged on volume rather than on the scale.
Do I have to upload a packing list?
No. You can upload or paste a screenshot, Excel, Word or PDF packing list and let it be read automatically, then correct any field by hand. You can also type total weight, total volume, carton dimensions, carton count and cargo value directly.
Is the result an official freight quote?
No. It is an estimate built on public rate structures, meant for sizing freight and comparing options quickly. Final invoicing follows the carrier's actual weighing, chargeable-weight rules and current rates.
How is this different from the sizing calculator?
The sizing calculator answers "which driver, and how many lights will it carry" — it works on power and load. The freight tool answers "how do I ship this, and what will it cost" — it works on logistics cost and transit time. They are usually used in sequence: fix the model and quantity first, then estimate freight.
