How to compare quotes for shipping

When you compare quotes for shipping, line up the scope, the materials and the timeline rather than just the totals. Ask each provider what would make the price rise after the quote is accepted.

Timing your shipping

Getting quotes for shipping

A good shipping quote lists what is included, what is excluded and how long the price is held. If it does none of those, ask for a revised version.

What moves the price of shipping
