Service levels

Express / Standard / Hot Shot — how each scales price and transit time, and sets the cubic factor.

Service levels scale a booking’s price and transit time, and set the cubic factor used to convert volume into chargeable weight. Manage them under Rates → Service Levels.

  • The cost multiplier scales the freight price — Standard is the ×1.00 baseline, Express and Hot Shot cost more.
  • The transit multiplier scales the delivery lead time relative to the standard transit.

Freight is charged on the greater of actual weight or cubic (volumetric) weight. The cubic factor (kg/m³) does that conversion:

cubic weight (kg) = volume (m³) × cubic factor
chargeable weight = max(actual weight, cubic weight)

Each level has its own factor, and the selected level’s factor (e.g. Express 250) powers the booking form’s live chargeable-weight preview. The priced amount uses the engine’s chain instead: the rate card’s own cubic_factor override → the tenant default in Rate card settings.
