1. Distance-based Pricing
A food delivery service charges a base fee of $2, plus $1.50 per mile for delivery. If the customer is 5 miles away, the fare will be:

Base Fare = $2
Distance Fare = $1.50 × 5 = $7.50
Total Fare = $2 + $7.50 = $9.50

2. Time-based Pricing
A grocery delivery service charges based on time taken. There’s a base fee of $3, plus $0.10 per minute for the duration of the delivery. If a delivery takes 45 minutes:

Base Fare = $3
Time Fare = $0.10 × 45 = $4.50
Total Fare = $3 + $4.50 = $7.50

3. Weight/Size-based Pricing
A furniture delivery service charges a base fee of $10, plus $2 per 10 lbs for items over 50 lbs. If a delivered item weighs 70 lbs:

Base Fare = $10
Weight Fare = $2 × 2 = $4
Total Fare = $10 + $4 = $14

4. Dynamic/Surge Pricing
A ride-sharing delivery charges a base fare of $5, with $2 per mile, but due to high demand, a surge multiplier of 1.5x is applied. For a 4-mile delivery:

Base Fare = $5
Distance Fare = $2 × 4 = $8
Surge Multiplier = 1.5
Total Fare = ($5 + $8) × 1.5 = $19.50

5. Zonal Pricing
A local courier service charges $10 for deliveries within Zone A and $15 for Zone B. If a delivery is in Zone B:

Zone Fare = $15
Total Fare = $15

6. Hybrid Pricing (Distance + Time)
A parcel delivery service charges a base fare of $3, $1 per mile, and $0.05 per minute. If a 10-mile delivery takes 30 minutes:

Base Fare = $3
Distance Fare = $1 × 10 = $10
Time Fare = $0.05 × 30 = $1.50
Total Fare = $3 + $10 + $1.50 = $14.50

7. Fuel Surcharge Additions
A delivery service charges $2 per mile, but also adds a $0.10 per mile fuel surcharge when fuel prices rise. For a 12-mile delivery:

Base Fare = $2 × 12 = $24
Fuel Surcharge = $0.10 × 12 = $1.20
Total Fare = $24 + $1.20 = $25.20

8. Crowdsourced/Bid-based Pricing
In a freelance courier platform, drivers bid for deliveries. A customer needs to deliver a package 5 miles away. Three drivers submit bids:

Driver 1: $15
Driver 2: $12
Driver 3: $18
The customer selects Driver 2’s bid of $12.
