About this course
This course walks you through a forwarder's quote cell by cell. You turn a pieces list into volumetric and chargeable weight, look up air rates by weight break with XLOOKUP and check whether the next break is cheaper. For sea freight you calculate cubic metres, tonnes and weight-or-measure with a minimum charge, then compare shared LCL with full containers and find the break-even volume. You add fuel, security and handling surcharges with minimums, convert buy costs from fictional currencies, set a sell price from a target margin and work out delivery dates with WORKDAY and weekly sailings, before comparing air, sea and sea-air in a chart.
