Reship Shipping Calculator

Reship distinguishes itself by offering forwarding addresses in three major shopping markets—the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom—allowing international customers to access retailers across these regions from a single account. Understanding Reship's shipping cost calculations helps you budget effectively when purchasing from multiple countries and decide which address offers the best value for specific purchases based on shipping rates to your destination. Reship calculates shipping charges using chargeable weight, comparing actual package weight against volumetric weight and billing the higher value—following standard industry practice for package forwarding services. They partner with carriers including DHL, FedEx, UPS, and economy options, each with different dimensional weight policies and pricing structures that vary by origin country and destination region. For buyers shopping across North American and UK retailers, understanding how package dimensions affect costs enables smarter purchasing and consolidation decisions when managing orders from multiple sources. Reship's consolidation service is particularly valuable when combining purchases from multiple stores within the same country, optimizing package dimensions and reducing overall shipping expenses for multi-item orders.

Reship uses chargeable weight for shipping—the greater of actual weight or volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is calculated from dimensions using carrier-specific divisors. Shipping costs include first weight charges plus additional weight increments. Reship offers membership tiers affecting service fees and features. Their shipping calculator provides estimates once packages are measured at whichever warehouse (US, Canada, or UK) received your items.

Reship applies volumetric weight following carrier standards. DHL and FedEx typically use 139 (imperial: cubic inches per pound) or 5000 (metric: cm³/kg). USPS uses 166 imperial. For a 16" × 12" × 10" package (1,920 cubic inches), volumetric weight is approximately 13.8 lbs with a 139 divisor or 11.6 lbs with a 166 divisor. Each warehouse (US/Canada/UK) applies appropriate regional carrier rules. Reship's system displays both weights.
