A customer asks, "How much to ship this to London?" You start a booking, fill in addresses, enter weights, and by the time you have a price, they've gone quiet.
With Rate Cards, our new feature on Terminal Africa, you can check accurate shipping rates for every carrier on your account without booking a shipment.
What are Rate Cards?
Rate Cards are your shipping price list, organised by carrier. You'll see rates for carriers like DHL Express, FedEx, UPS, Aramex, Fez Delivery, Terminal Express, Terminal Freight, Terminal Premium and more, all in one place.
The prices you see are the prices you pay at booking, not estimates.
Why You'll Love Rate Cards
- Quote customers in seconds. Send a price while your customer is still interested.
- Compare carriers side by side. See your options at a glance and pick the best fit for your budget and delivery needs.
- See where each carrier goes. Every carrier is tagged Local, Export or Import, so you can quickly find the right one for your shipment.
- Plan with confidence. Know your shipping costs before you set product prices or commit to a shipment.
- Stay up to date. Each carrier shows when its rates were last updated, and a Refresh button loads the latest prices.
