Courier per-kilogram charges vary significantly by carrier, destination, and service level. For international shipping to Nigeria from the US or Europe, express couriers typically charge $8-20 per kg after the first kilogram, which usually has a higher base rate of $40-70. Economy courier services might charge $5-12 per kg. Domestic courier services in developed countries generally charge $2-8 per kg depending on distance and speed. However, most couriers don’t use simple per-kg pricing; they consider dimensional weight, service type, and distance zones. Business accounts receive better rates than retail customers. Additional surcharges apply for fuel, remote areas, residential delivery, and special handling. Many couriers have minimum charges regardless of weight. For accurate pricing, it’s essential to get quotes specific to your shipment’s origin, destination, weight, dimensions, and desired delivery timeframe.
