How to prepare a request for accurate logistics calculations?

To the question “how much does one pallet cost?” It is impossible to answer accurately without details. One pallet with different dimensions, weight, product, address and date creates different transportation and cost models.

1. Exact addresses

Specify the country, city, zip code and loading conditions. Warehouse limitations and special equipment affect the last mile.

2. Size of each place

Please indicate the quantity, actual weight, length, width and height after packing. In air, volumetric weight is important; in LTL and containers, space is important.

3. Product description

Provide name, material, purpose, hazard, batteries, temperature and fragility. The general wording may change the tariff later.

4. Date and priority

Separate the ready date and the required delivery date. A specific deadline is better than the word “urgent.”

5. Incoterms and documents

Specify Incoterms, attach an invoice and packing list. Responsibilities for customs, insurance and delivery should be clear.

Example

“From Istanbul 34500 to warehouse in Baku, 3 pallets 120x80x110 cm, 980 kg, industrial spare parts, non-hazardous, ready July 18, need LTL and FTL door to door options.”
