Breaking Down Our Parcel Pricing: What You’re Really Paying For
By Rapid Route Logistics Limited

• Fuel & Distance
  ▸ Mileage and Nairobi traffic conditions influence fuel spend, one of the biggest cost drivers in any delivery.
• Vehicle & Route Optimization
  ▸ Investment in GPS‑guided software cuts detours, but licensing and maintenance of bikes / vans still form part of the price.
• Parcel Handling & Labour
  ▸ Wages for trained sorters, drivers and loaders ensure careful, error‑free handling from hub to doorstep.3
• Delivery Speed Tier
  ▸ Same‑day, express or economy—each tier reflects the resources reserved to meet its promised turnaround.
• Packaging & Protective Materials
  ▸ Standard satchels are included; specialty boxes, insulation or fragile‑item kits add marginal material costs.
• Insurance & Liability Cover
  ▸ Basic cover is baked in; optional premium insurance for high‑value goods appears as a transparent surcharge.
• Real‑Time Tracking Technology
  ▸ Continuous system upgrades, data plans and server security keep live tracking reliable—part of the tech fraction of your fee.
• Customer Support & Claims Handling
  ▸ 24/7 helpline, chat agents and claims processing staff ensure prompt resolution, funded through the service component.
• Environmental & Compliance Fees
  ▸ Emission‑control measures, regulatory permits and eco‑friendly initiatives (e.g., fleet electrification) carry modest ongoing costs.
• Peak‑Season & Surcharge Logic
  ▸ Holiday spikes or remote‑area surcharges cover extra driver hours, extended routes and temporary manpower.
• Returns & Reverse Logistics
  ▸ When included by merchants, the two‑way flow of goods is budgeted into contract pricing to keep returns seamless.
• Continuous Improvement Fund
  ▸ A small slice reinvested in training, warehouse automation and new hubs—ensuring tomorrow’s deliveries stay fast and reliable.
