How are Optim-Elec shipping costs calculated?

Optim-Elec shipping cost calculation:

Factors affecting shipping:

• Package weight : Total combined weight of items in your order. Heavier packages incur higher carrier fees (e.g., Socomec UPS units, industrial switchgear).
• Dimensions : Length, width, height of packaged items. Oversized packages (bulky equipment) may incur surcharges.
• Delivery address : Urban deliveries typically cheaper than rural. Rural surcharge may apply (€5-20).
• Carrier selected : Different carriers charge different rates. Colissimo (standard), DPD (express), Geodis (freight) have different pricing.
• Destination region : France metropolitan cheaper than overseas. International rates significantly higher.
• Insurance : Optional supplemental insurance available for high-value orders (Socomec high-end products, server UPS systems).

Pricing transparency:

• Shipping cost is calculated automatically at checkout before you confirm payment.
• You see total order cost breakdown: subtotal, VAT, shipping, final total.
• You can select alternative carriers to compare prices if multiple options available.

Free shipping threshold: Orders totaling €200+ ex-VAT (before tax) qualify for complimentary standard delivery in France (Colissimo, DPD). Express shipping (1-day delivery) available at additional cost even for qualified free shipping orders.
