What changes the price
For parcels, size matters as much as weight: carriers charge by "volumetric weight" (length × width × height in cm ÷ 5,000) when it is higher than the real weight. Import duties and VAT are paid by the receiver on top.
For moves, the volume and the distance set the price. Overseas moves usually go by sea container; air freight is 3 to 5 times dearer.
