Cube-Free Shipping
Cube-free shipping is a shipping option designed for customers who prefer simpler planning and pricing that is not strictly based on precise cargo volume measurements. Instead of calculating costs purely on cubic size, this approach focuses on shipment type, handling requirements, and overall movement.
At Gandhi Shipping, cube-free shipping is commonly used for household goods, relocation cargo, and mixed shipments where exact dimensions may be difficult to estimate in advance.
What Is Cube-Free Shipping?
Cube-free shipping removes the need for detailed volume calculations during the early planning stages. Rather than pricing shipments solely on cubic measurements, cargo is categorized based on agreed parameters such as shipment type, handling needs, and transport method.
A typical cube-free shipping process includes:
- Shipment assessment and categorization
- Selection of suitable transport mode
- Packing and preparation of goods
- International transportation
- Customs clearance and final delivery
This approach makes shipping more approachable for non-commercial and first-time shippers.
When Cube-Free Shipping Makes Sense
Cube-free shipping is commonly used when:
- Shipping household goods or personal effects
- Shipment dimensions are irregular or difficult to estimate
- Customers want simplified pricing structures
- Relocation or mixed cargo is involved
- Volume-based pricing creates uncertainty during planning
It is chosen for convenience and clarity rather than strict cost optimization.
