Important key data for freight forwarding
If you have your goods transported by forwarding shipment, you should pay attention to the following things:
- Goods weighing 30 kg or more or measuring 120 x 60 x 60 cm or more are classified as bulky goods in freight forwarding and must therefore be shipped on a pallet.
- If several pallets are shipped, a distinction is made in freight forwarding between Groupage freight, Less than truck loads and Full truck loads. When shipping groupage freight, you can ship a maximum of 6 pallets with a total weight of no more than 3 tonnes.
- Less than truck loads are likely to be transshipped in a warehouse and transported with other goods for efficient shipping routes. Full truck loads are shipped directly to the consignee by truck.
- It should be noted that the shipped goods are protected only if you additionally book a shipping insurance.
- If you send your goods with our climate protection contribution, the shipment usually costs only a few cents extra.
