Choosing a last-mile delivery partner is about more than just finding the lowest rate. It’s about understanding how pricing works, what actually drives your delivery costs, and how to choose the right service level for your customers without eroding your margins.
Koorier provides flexible, transparent pricing for retailers across the GTA and GVA, designed to support everything from local e-commerce deliveries to time-sensitive retail and B2B fulfillment. Below, we break down how Koorier pricing works, what influences your delivery rates, and how to make smart tradeoffs between speed, service level, and cost.
How Koorier Pricing Works (In Simple Terms)
Koorier pricing is tailored to your business, because no two delivery operations look the same. Your rates are built around:
- How fast you want orders delivered (standard, next-day, same-day)
- Your shipment volume
- The size and weight of your packages
- The services you need (high-value item handling, service windows, redirections, returns)
Most customers use a per-delivery rate as the foundation of pricing, with volume-based pricing and service-level options layered on top. This gives you flexibility to offer multiple delivery experiences to your customers while keeping costs predictable.
Common Pricing Options You’ll See With Koorier
Per-Delivery Pricing
You pay a rate for each completed delivery. This rate varies based on package size and weight. Larger or heavier parcels require more handling and vehicle capacity, which affects cost per delivery.
Volume-Based Discounts
As your monthly delivery volume grows, your per-delivery cost typically decreases. This rewards consistent shipping patterns and helps growing retailers scale more affordably over time.
Service Tiers (Standard, Next-Day, Same-Day)
Different service levels come with different price points. Faster delivery options require more dedicated operational capacity, which increases cost. Standard delivery allows for greater route efficiency and lower per-delivery pricing.
Platform Access (Koorier One)
Koorier One gives you visibility into delivery performance and costs in one centralized platform. Platform access is included when you use Koorier as your final-mile delivery provider, so you don’t pay extra just to access your operational data.
Optional Services and Add-Ons
Some delivery scenarios require additional handling. Optional services may be priced per use depending on your setup, including:
- One-Time Password (OTP) handling for high-value items
- Service windows for time-sensitive deliveries
- Redirecting deliveries to new locations
These options allow you to tailor the delivery experience to the value and urgency of each order.
What Affects Your Delivery Price?
Your delivery rate is based on real operational factors:
- Package size & weight
Larger and heavier parcels cost more to move and handle. - Service level selected
Same-day and next-day services require more dedicated capacity than standard delivery. - Volume & multi-parcels to a single address
As your delivery volume scales up, pricing scales down. Discounts apply when multiple deliveries are made to the same address on the same delivery day. - Address quality
Clean, accurate address data reduces failed delivery attempts and re-delivery costs. - Peak demand periods
High-volume retail periods can affect pricing due to increased operational demand.
Koorier’s technology helps lower many of these costs by optimizing routes and reducing failed delivery attempts, which improves cost efficiency over time.
How Service Windows Impact Cost Efficiency
Choosing the right delivery window is one of the easiest ways to control last-mile delivery costs. Wider windows allow more operational flexibility, while narrow windows require more precise routing and dedicated capacity.
This flexibility lets you offer premium delivery experiences only where they truly add business value.
