The Shipping Charges Calculator is an easy way for your customers to get pricing-specific quotes on shipping charges without leaving your website or auction page.
Quotes include any handling fees you want added - either as a flat fee or a percentage of total charges.
The calculator can be seamlessly linked to your website or auction page directly.
Shipping and delivery service options can be pre-selected to appear on the quote page.
Dynamic features including templates, commodity lookup, and NMFC lookup.
How does it work?
The ABF Shipping Charges Calculator is directly linked from your website or auction page to a partial "quote" you create on the ABF website.
In its own window, the Shipping Charges Calculator returns accurate transportation charges back to your customer.
Quotes are based on information that you specify, such as shipping origins and commodity specifics.
How do I set it up?
It's easy. First, you need an ABF account and an abf.com password. Contact your account manager if you need to set up an account.
If you have an account and just need a password, simply go to abf.com and click "Need a password?"
Enter your basic shipping information (like shipper and product information). NMFC-Item and sub may be required, depending on individual pricing requirements.
Click "save" to generate a formlet to post on your website. Or simply copy and paste it to your eBay® or other online auction page.
