# Freight estimation for forwarding-agent orders.
#
# The old agent estimate assumed a flat $12 regardless of what you were shipping,
# which is wrong in both directions: a phone case does not cost $12 to send, and a
# 5kg toolkit costs far more. International parcels are billed on VOLUMETRIC weight
# -- the greater of actual weight and (L x W x H / divisor) -- so a light bulky item
# is charged as if it were heavy.
#
# These are estimates, not quotes. Real cost depends on the courier, the lane, fuel
# surcharges and your agent's contract rates, none of which a listing page can tell
# you. Adjust the rates below to match what your agent actually charges you.
