Automatically Sum Domestic & International Fees for Multiple Parcels
The Challenge of Complex Shipments
For businesses and frequent shippers using services like KAKOBUY, managing costs for multi-parcel, multi-leg shipments is a common headache. Manually calculating the total freight cost—which often includes domestic collection fees, international air/sea freight, customs duties, and last-mile delivery—for several packages is time-consuming and prone to error.
This is where a well-structured KAKOBUY Freight Calculation Spreadsheet
Building Your Automated Calculation Sheet
The core idea is to create a system that automatically totals all cost components. Below is a conceptual table structure you can implement in Excel, Google Sheets, or similar software.
| Parcel ID | Domestic Fee (¥) | Int'l Freight (¥) | Taxes & Duties (¥) | Other Surcharges (¥) | Parcel Total (¥) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KB-001 | 1,200 | 4,500 | 850 | 300 | =SUM(B2:E2) |
| KB-002 | 950 | 3,800 | 620 | 300 | =SUM(B3:E3) |
| KB-003 | 1,500 | 5,200 | 1,100 | 300 | =SUM(B4:E4) |
| GRAND TOTAL: | =SUM(F2:F4) | ||||
