The price is a range

Each card shows the estimated total price range for the shipment you searched, in the currency returned by Freightos. It is not a guaranteed offer. Check the final service scope and applicable charges in a full quote.

The time is an estimate

Transit days help you compare available modes. They are not a confirmed pickup or delivery schedule. The current calculator does not use your selected ready-to-ship date to price the shipment.

Compare the same shipment

Keep the route, unit count, weight and dimensions consistent when comparing results. A different location, cargo size or load type can change the estimate.

Use the result as a starting point

Check pickup and delivery scope, extra services, insurance, handling, surcharges and dates with the provider. You can save a returned estimate in My workspace on this browser and request a fresh estimate when planning changes.

This guide explains the Cargo.it planning workflow. Confirm your shipment-specific service and requirements with your chosen provider.
