Pricing methodology

Chargeable size

We apply the highest result from m³, kg, pallets (PLL) and loading metres (LDM). For groupage, the ratio is 150 kg/m³; if actual density is higher, pricing follows weight.

Minimum charge

The minimum charge is the price in the lowest tariff row for that route.

FTL boundary

Above 1.5× the maximum in the tariff table, an individual FTL offer is required. Prices are not extrapolated.

Rooms and items to m³

Planning norms: 1 room ≈ 12 m³, 2 rooms ≈ 22 m³, 3 rooms ≈ 32 m³, 4 rooms/house ≈ 45 m³, studio ≈ 8 m³; sofa ≈ 2 m³, double bed ≈ 2.2 m³, refrigerator ≈ 0.9 m³. We then apply that route’s m³ tariff. This is guidance, not a final offer.

Data freshness

Each tariff table has an update date; MCP returns prices_updated.

What we do not do

We do not invent prices, extrapolate beyond a tariff table, or publish fictitious reviews or ratings.
