Fuel Price and Impact on Delivery Costs
The price of fuel at the pump is volatile, and its evolution directly impacts the operational costs of dynamic industries such as transport and courier services.
At Sameday, we constantly analyze the evolution of fuel prices, and in order to maintain our delivery standards, we introduce the dynamic fuel index into the cost structure at the shipment level. This will be reflected in the home delivery and easybox delivery services, which involve transport within our distribution network.
How the Fuel Index is Calculated @ SAMEDAY
The fuel index is applied to national and international crossborder courier services at the basic cost of the shipments/parcels:
Basic cost = weight range cost/cost specific to easybox type (S, M, L), additional kg cost, extra network cost, additional parcel cost.
It is calculated monthly, based on the average price of diesel at the pump, obtained by accessing the website www.peco-online.ro.
