Pricing · Packing Engine

Pay for the box you actually need.

MaxFill prices every shipment from the packing engine up. It computes the most space-efficient box for each order and validates it against carrier rules, so you only ever pay real, optimized shipping cost, at competitive rates.

[ What changes your shipping quote ]
A

Parcel volume

Box size sets the dimensional weight carriers bill on. The packing engine keeps it as small as it can.

B

Weight

Actual weight is compared with dimensional weight, and the carrier bills the higher of the two.

C

Destination

Rates follow the carrier zone and route from our warehouse to your customer's country.

D

Product type

Batteries, liquids, cosmetics, fragile, and oversized goods can need special handling or carriers.

All rates in USD and exclude shipping, duties, and taxes. These are starting rates: higher volumes get lower rates, and special goods are quoted case by case.

[ Why it matters ]

Efficient packing is lower cost.

01

Cost savings

Smaller boxes mean lower shipping costs. The engine never bills you for shipping air.

02

Carrier compliance

Packages that meet size and dimension rules avoid surcharges and delivery delays.

03

Customer satisfaction

Properly packed items arrive safely and on time, every time.

04

Operational efficiency

Automated packing decisions reduce manual work and human error.

[ What determines your rate ]

From box specs to a real carrier rate.

Once the engine sizes the optimal box, MaxFill prices it against your carrier rate tables, so the number you see is the number it actually costs to ship.

[ FAQ ]

Pricing, answered.

No. Setup, onboarding, and the MaxFill platform are free, and there is no monthly minimum. You pay for the packing, processing, and storage you use, plus shipping.

No. Pick only the steps you need, from sourcing and inspection to storage, shipping, and returns. Each service is billed on its own, and all of them run on the same MaxFill platform.

Shipping is quoted per parcel from its volume, weight, destination, and product type. Monthly order volume lowers your packing and storage rates, while batteries, liquids, fragile, or oversized goods may need special handling or carriers.

The packing engine analyzes your items, finds the most space-efficient arrangement, and calculates the optimal box. That box's dimensions and weight are then priced against your carrier rate tables, so the rate reflects the real, optimized cost to ship.

The engine packs items into a single box when it can, and splits them across multiple boxes when necessary, pricing each one so the overall shipment stays optimized.

Yes. Every package is validated against carrier requirements for maximum dimensions, girth, and volume, so you avoid surcharges and delivery delays.

Analyzing, optimizing, sizing, validating, and returning the box specs and rate all happen automatically in under a second.

Stop paying to ship air.

Connect your store and let the packing engine price every shipment at its real, optimized cost.
