New Calculator To Save Money On Delivery Costs

uShip

If you are buying or selling items on eBay or other online auction and classified websites, then uShip’s new delivery price calculator could be for you.

uShip’s new Delivery Price Calculator lets you get instant delivery prices for all sorts of different kinds of items that may be too bulky, big and heavy for the normal parcel or pallet networks from removal companies, man and van companies and specialized transporters. So with just a couple of clicks on the drop down menus, and the input of two postcodes, you could have an instant estimate of how much a delivery is likely to cost you.

The calculator covers all sorts of items, including car transport, motorcycle transport, even boat transportation. The Household goods category is particularly good for all those items bought and sold on eBay.

The calculator can be integrated into any website by simply copy and pasting a widget of code, so it’s perfect for online sellers who sell through their own websites.

The price estimate generated by the calculator are based on the tens of thousands of deliveries that have been matched in the UK on uShip, so they are based on real marketplace prices or similar items, on similar routes and distances, not simply a theoretical book rate, or discounted pence per mile rates.

And if your delivery needs are more complicated, perhaps cross border, or particularly specialized, then the uShip marketplace with its thousands of transporters will find quotes to you.

Here’s an example of the calculator, try it out and see what you think:

uShip will also soon be releasing a mobile app.
