I know, it's easily done, but this one's got me.

5 pcs of 4500x200X200 @ 150kg (each) to Birmingham as 465GBP

4pcs of 4500X350X350 @ 140kg (each) to Birmingham as 850GBP


I'm trying to write a quote and got these two quotes from the same logistic company within 24 hrs of each other. The previously on the ball salesman/contact has now gone strangely quiet when I asked about the difference.
There is something wrong here, isn't there? Or have I gone mad?

On the second (at 850) the boxes are higher volume. Sometimes the volume is used instead of weight for transport quotes. Seems mental though.

I offered that as a reason when I asked him as that's the only increase I can see, this was just before the silence. 😕
I guess I'm more perplexed by the lack of response than anything. And would that account for an almost 400GBP increase?

it's over twice the volume, so twice the price

...... and now you see why they don't let people like the OP use trade counters. Time waster. 😀

Could if you want, I don't understand why folks have to write tags when they have the whole forum to play on. All a bit juvenile, no?
