Your digital forwarder
With Cargoboard as a digital freight forwarder, you can have your goods shipped quickly and easily online at any time. Our digital process handling enables seamless tracking of your freight and a transparent process. Below we explain how our forwarding service is structured.
How does a digital freight forwarder work?
In just a few minutes you can start your forwarding order digitally with us at any time. At my.cargoboard.com you can order your freight for shipment in a few minutes. For this we need from you the weight of the goods, the dimensions and the loading and unloading location. Subsequently, you can decide whether you want to choose standard shipping, climate-neutral shipping, express shipping or fixed delivery.
The right packaging for forwarding shipment
We can ship general cargo, bulky cargo, hazardous cargo, partial loads and full loads. For transportation, it is important that you pack your goods appropriately. From 30kg weight of goods or dimensions of 120 x 60 x 60 cm you have to ship your goods on a pallet. We recommend to send the goods packed in cartons or bubble wrap.
The forwarding shipment
Within Germany it is possible to send the cargo within 24-48 hours. Pickup is usually between 10 am and 4 pm. Within the EU shipping takes 2-7 days depending on the route. Loading and unloading is carried out “free curbside” as standard. This means, unless otherwise agreed, your goods will be collected by us at the curb. With general cargo shipping , we handle your goods in a central warehouse and distribute them on efficient truck routes. If you book a full load, your goods will be driven directly to your destination.
The delivery of your goods
The standard delivery is free curbside. You are welcome to contact our service team to discuss a destination other than “curbside”. Delivery is expected between 8 am and 2 pm. At this point, the consignee accepts the goods from the carrier and thereby also confirms their intactness. Through us as a digital forwarder, you can follow the entire shipping process with seamless track & trace.

Safe forwarding shipment with Cargoboard
Contrary to a common assumption, your goods are not insured by default when shipped by a freight forwarder. We recommend that you take out transport insurance. Compared to the value of the goods, the insurance is relatively cheap. For 5,00 € per 1.000 € value of goods you can cover yourself with transport insurance. However, the insurance costs at least 5,50€.
