How does bumper shipping with Cargoboard work?
When you ship your bumper with Cargoboard, you need to consider a few things in advance, which we will explain in this section.
The booking through our platform
To place the order on our platform, the first step is to enter your shipment details such as the pickup and delivery locations and the exact dimensions of the shipment. It is important that the specified dimensions must be entered including the packaging.
The means of transport for bumper shipping
When shipping a bumper, the size of it is often a problem. We recommend removing electronic components such as PDC sensors, turn signals or headlights from the bumper.
When choosing the means of transport, we recommend choosing a suitable one-way pallet. This way you can make sure that the bumper does not protrude on the sides.
After you have decided on a means of transport, it is important to package the bumper safely. How to proceed specifically with the packaging of the electronic components and the bumper, you will learn at the bottom of this page.
The collection of the bumper
Our forwarders usually collect your shipment from the curbside. Starting at a weight of 30 kg, the goods must either be placed on a pallet or accessible from underneath.
When shipping a bumper, we recommend choosing a suitable one-way pallet, regardless of the weight.
The delivery of the bumper
Like the pickup, the delivery for bumper shipping is free curbside. The shipment is unloaded by our freight forwarding partners at the roadside of the delivery address.

Packaging tips for bumper shipping
If you have chosen a means of transport, the next step is to properly package the bumper.
- Recommended is the disassembly of electronic components such as PDC sensors, turn signals, or headlights
- Package the disassembled parts securely for transport with bubble wrap and cardboard
- Protect the sensitive edges of the bumper with an edge protector and wrap it with bubble wrap
- Position the packaged bumper on the pallet or in the selected cardboard box. For this purpose, ideally use an additional holder.
- If you choose a pallet, fix the packaged bumper on it using a tension belt.
- If you choose a cardboard box, seal it securely for transport using adhesive tape.
For padding and further protection of the bumper we recommend the following packaging materials:
- Holder on which the bumper can be securely positioned
- Handling advice for careful handling of the goods

It is important to note that there is no standard insurance when shipping. In case of damage or loss, only the liability according to the German Freight Forwarders' Standard Terms and Conditions (ADSP) applies.
Therefore, we recommend our shipping insurance for expensive products. You can easily and uncomplicatedly add it during the booking process.
