What is the best way of calculating air courier cost?

[exclusives88]

Every time I am working with a manufacture, I always question their quote on door to door air courier. Some manufactures I work with are very reasonable, while others are extraordinary high. What is the proper way of calculating air courier cost to the US?

Based on my understanding, the quote is based on chargeable (volumetric) weight. I believe the formula is the greater of the actual weight or LxWxH/5000. For example: My package is 29 KG and dimensions are 60x40x30cm. The volumetric weight is 72,000/5000 = 14.4 KG.

So now I have my chargeable weight of 29 KG. It is estimated that it costs $3 - $5 per KG. So I am looking at around max $145 for air courier from China to US.

Is there a calculator that can give me an accurate cost instead of an rough estimate? If I use Fedex or DHL, I calculated above $1,000. I've used other calculators found on google and I am getting the same results.

At what point when you would think a manufacture is completely ripping you off. In the range of +20% of what you calculated? What is your threshold?
