What is a Shipping Quote?

A shipping quote is a document that provides an estimated cost of transporting goods from one location to another. The shipping quote typically includes information about the shipment, such as the weight and dimensions of the goods, the origin and destination addresses, and any applicable surcharges or fees.

This document is essential for the shipping company and the customer, as it helps establish the terms of the transportation agreement. A shipping quote allows the customer to understand the cost of the shipment and plan accordingly while also helping the shipping company to calculate the necessary resources required to fulfil the shipment.
