FAQs — Surface Courier Service

Surface courier charges are calculated based on factors such as origin, destination, shipment weight, dimensions and applicable volumetric pricing.

Hub-and-spoke routing is a logistics model where surface shipments are consolidated at regional hubs before being dispatched onward to their final destination.
