💰 How to Set the Right Shipping Price

One of the first questions when creating a shipment is:

How much should I offer?

Offering a fair price helps attract travelers while ensuring a positive experience for everyone.

Here are the main factors to consider.

1. Consider the travel distance

Longer trips usually require more time and effort.

Your proposed price should reflect the distance between pickup and delivery locations.

2. Think about the parcel's size and weight

Larger or heavier parcels take up more space.

Ask yourself:

Is the parcel bulky?

Is it heavy?

Does it require special handling?

These factors may justify a higher offer.

3. Be flexible when possible

The more flexible your delivery schedule is, the easier it is for travelers to accept your request.

4. Compare similar shipments

Take a look at similar deliveries on ColisGo.

This will help you estimate a fair and competitive price.

5. Offer a reasonable amount

A fair price benefits both the sender and the traveler.

It also increases the chances of finding a match quickly.

Summary

When deciding your shipping price, consider:

travel distance;

parcel size and weight;

delivery flexibility;

similar listings.

A fair offer helps your parcel get delivered faster.
