I bought a bicycle at a cost 138 USD from amazon. Internal shipping cost to my suite is around 98 USD. Estimated shipping to India is around 368 USD. Taxes and duties in india is 138 USD. You can understand. And above all I dont know if I get this in one piece. So buy light weight and low volume occupying items only using borderlinx.

Hello Nagaraju K,

Appreciate your feedback. We would like to clarify that the concept of dimensional or volumetric weight is used across the airfreight industry for international shipments. It's not just DHL or Borderlinx that uses this concept but by all international couriers like FedEx, UPS, USPS etc.

Therefore, The cost of transporting a shipment can be affected by the amount of space that it occupies on an aircraft, rather than the actual weight. This is the volumetric (or dimensional) weight. Further details has been explained on our website - http://www.borderlinx.com/en/pages/faq/volumetric-weight

We advise our customers to use the online cost calculator given on the website for an estimate prior to the purchase. Find the cost calculator here- http://www.borderlinx.com/en/shipping-cost-calculator

Regards, Borderlinx team
