Our instant quote calculator automatically displays each couriers’ price for sending your items. The price is usually set by calculating the higher of either the cubic weight (volume) or the actual weight of the packaged item/s.
You can calculate the cubic weight (volume) yourself by following this simple formula;
Depth (meters) x Length (meters) x Height (meters) x 250.
Eg: A carton that was 40cm deep, 40cm long and 120cms high would be calculated by:
0.4 x 0.4 x 1.2 x 250 =48kgs.

You are able to book as the receiver although unless you’re exceptionally organised we discourage this. It is very important to ensure all packaged item details are entered accurately as collected items that are above the weight or dimensions entered when booking (even by a small amount) will more than likely incur additional fees for reweighing and remeasuring your item/s. If this occurs the courier will calculate a new quote and you will be billed for the difference.
It is also important that the sender packages the items in accordance with Freight Save’s Packing Guidelines and are aware of the process for printing labels, attaching them & collection by the courier.
If you would like to book as the receiver, please remember it is always your responsibility to ensure all items are measured and packaged correctly. It is also the sender’s responsibility for payment of any additional fees and charges incurred. See Freight Save’s full Terms & Conditions available under the Support menu.
