Use this logistics calculation for a transparent shipment, inventory, warehouse, customs, packaging, carrier, or service-level estimate when the governing units and business rules are explicit.

Home delivery cost

Cost per parcel delivered to a residential address.

Locker cost

Cost per parcel delivered to a parcel locker.

Compare locker versus home-delivery cost per parcel and express the saving per parcel and as a percentage of home delivery. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Saving percent

Saving as percent of home-delivery cost; negative means the locker costs more.

Saving per parcel

Absolute saving per parcel in currency units.

• Carrier tariffs, customs rules, dangerous-goods requirements, hours-of-service rules, surcharges, port terms, dimensional divisors, and service definitions vary by jurisdiction, contract, date, mode, and commodity. A calculation is not a booking, classification, or compliance determination.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Verify current carrier and authority documents, retain shipment dimensions and timestamps, test boundary cases, and reconcile estimates against invoices and operational scans.
