Master Your International Shipping with the MuleBuy Spreadsheet
The Smart Tool to Compare Freight Options and Finalize Costs Before Checkout
Importing goods shouldn't be a guessing game. Unexpected freight charges, hidden fees, and fluctuating per-kg rates can turn a promising deal into a financial headache. What if you could see the complete financial picture of your shipment before committing? The MuleBuy Spreadsheet
What is the MuleBuy Spreadsheet?
It is a powerful pre-purchase planning tool integrated into the MuleBuy platform. Think of it as your personal logistics simulator. Before you finalize your cart checkout, this interactive spreadsheet allows you to model various shipping scenarios based on real-time data and your specific product parameters. Its primary goal is to eliminate cost surprises by revealing the total landed cost—the true final price of your goods once they arrive at your doorstep.
How It Works: Your Three-Step Cost Clarity Process
1. Simulate Freight Routes
Not all shipping paths are created equal. The tool lets you input different origin-destination combinations and select from available carriers (air, sea, courier). You can compare direct routes against multi-leg options to see how each choice impacts both time and cost.
2. Compare Per-Kilogram Rates
Freight costs are dynamic. Simply input the total weight and volume of your intended shipment. The spreadsheet instantly pulls and displays the latest per-kilogram or per-cubic-meter rates for your selected routes, allowing for an apples-to-apples comparison between carriers.
3. Calculate Total Landed Cost
This is where the magic happens. The spreadsheet automatically factors in all critical variables:
- Product Cost
- Freight Charges
- Insurance Fees
- Customs Duties & Taxes (estimated)
- Handling & Clearance Charges
It crunches the numbers to provide a single, comprehensive Total Landed Cost
