How pricing works
Base price by size, plus a per kilometre rate that drops with distance, times your delivery speed.
Fetchr does not publish a single tariff, because couriers bid. What it does publish is the formula behind the suggested price they bid against, so nothing about your total should be a surprise.
The three parts
- A base price set by package size, from $1.50 for a document to $10 for a bulk load.
- A distance charge per kilometre, which gets cheaper the further you go.
- A multiplier for the delivery speed you picked.
Distance rates
| Trip length | Rate per km |
|---|---|
| Up to 3 km | $0.60 |
| 3 to 6 km | $0.50 |
| 6 to 10 km | $0.40 |
| Over 10 km | $0.35 |
Speed multipliers
| Speed | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Express | 1.5x |
| Standard | 1.0x |
| Scheduled | 0.9x |
A worked example
A small package sent 5 km on Standard: $2.50 base, plus 5 km at $0.50 which is $2.50, times 1.0. Suggested price $5.00. Couriers bid around that number, and the one you accept is what you pay.
Bulk loads matched to a car or a van cost more than a bike, because the vehicle costs more to run. The app shows this before you confirm.
