FreightCenter.com Releases New Shipping Calculator for Ebay

After many months of work, FreightCenter.com, a leader in online freight shipping solutions, announces the release of their shipping widget. This tool allows users to create an easy to use shipping calculator and place it directly on their website or eBay listing.

Representatives from the company were in Chicago in June officially releasing the tool at eBay live, eBay’s annual convention. The company expects the instant shipping calculator to be a huge hit with eBay users that operate online stores that specialize in selling large items not suited to small parcel services. The FreightCenter.com shipping widget can also be used by website store owners to allow customers to estimate shipping quickly without leaving their website.

FreightCenter.com President Matthew Brosious is thrilled about the shipping widget. “We’ve been providing shipping services and rates directly on our website for years, and this tool will let our customers provide rates to their customers quickly with minimal setup”. The FreightCenter.com widget requires only that customers register for a free account and then enter the details of the item they want to ship as well as the origin zip code. They then paste the code directly into their website or their auction listing. Customers need to only enter the zip code they want the item to go to, and prices are provided instantly.

Determining Freight Class

Freight class is a method used by shipping carriers to create rates for shipments. Based primarily on the commodity's value and density, all commodities fall under a predetermined class assignment from the least expensive at Class 50 to the most expensive at Class 500. The National Motor Freight Transportation Authority (NMFTA) manages the recognized freight classes and to date there are 18 total possible classes for commodities. These Freight classifications, sometimes referred to as an item's National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC), are based on several factors of the commodity, such as:

• Density-weight in pounds per cubic foot
• Stowability-excessive weight, length, balance
• Handling-special procedures, instructions, equipment requirements
• Liability-susceptibility to theft, damage, or perishable

The final options to choose for the Widget, are: Guaranteed Delivery By 5pm, Hazmat, and Handling Fee (fee for seller to keep if paying for shipment directly with Freightcenter)
