Freight allowances on pre-priced parts shipments in Mitchell for Northern BC policy
ICBC pays specific freight allowances for shipments north of Prince George. Freight to all other areas of the province, including Prince George, is considered included in the pre-price part listings within the Mitchell estimating platform.
| Part | Allowance |
|---|---|
|
$5.00 |
|
$10.00 |
|
$20.00 |
Important: Participants should make their best effort to consolidate additional smaller/auxiliary parts within the allowances noted. The facility can add all parts that apply, but multiple parts orders should be consolidated with participants working with the supplier to ensure parts remain cost effective. For example, a shipment containing a bumper cover, absorber, and re-bar should be a single $20 freight charge.
Participants must
- consider the net landed cost of a replacement part inclusive of any freight charges to ensure the appropriate cost-effective option is chosen, and
- select the appropriate repair estimate entry, My Templates/01 STANDARD/FREIGHT, from My Templates list in Mitchell Cloud Estimating (MCE) when adding freight to the repair estimate.
Air freight
Air freight or special delivery charges are considered when the net part pricing and claim factors make it a cost-effective claim choice.
These factors include
- Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) back-order parts delays, or
- Loss of Use (LOU) exposure.
Important: Repair facilities must document that they are using the most cost-effective parts by adding an explanation line in MCE describing the rational.
