# How to Check Shipping Rates

When it comes to international shipping, rates aren’t one-size-fits-all. They’re
calculated in real time and depend on a few key factors. At UrShipper, we make
sure you always see transparent, up-to-date costs before you ship.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


🔑 WHAT AFFECTS SHIPPING RATES?

Shipping rates are vary based on:

 * Origin & Destination – Different countries and regions have different
   transportation costs and surcharges.
   
   

 * Weight & Dimensions – Carriers charge based on the higher of actual weight or
   volumetric (dimensional) weight.
   
   

 * Service Type – Express, Economy, or Standard delivery options each come with
   different speeds and prices.
   
   

 * Fuel & Seasonal Surcharges – These fluctuate weekly/monthly and during peak
   shipping seasons.
   
   

 * Discount Tier – As a UrShipper customer, your rates improve as your monthly
   shipping volume grows.

❓ WHY DON’T WE HAVE PRICE LIST / RATE TABLES?



Aside of UrShipper works with multiple carriers, can ship to more than 200
countries & territories from 0.5 kg up to 3,000 kg, shipping rates may be vary
by the destination city and postal code too.



Plus, shipping isn’t static—carrier rates change regularly with fuel
adjustments, surcharges, as well as destination rules. That’s why UrShipper
doesn’t use outdated “price list”.



Instead, using our online tools gives you real-time, carrier-direct rates so you
always make decisions with the most accurate info.
