Basic Coverage

How is a delivery to a private residential address made?
First, attempts are made to deliver the package to the private persons home address. The package can also be delivered to the delivery point if it is most suitable for the recipient, who is then informed of this. As a rule, larger and heavier deliveries are delivered to the home address as delivery points cannot handle that type of goods.

How is a delivery to a company made?
The delivery is delivered to the recipient during office hours. Three delivery attempts are included. The recipient is then contacted free of charge to plan a delivery. If this also fails, the transport is returned to the sender and a return cost is charged.

This shipping service allows the placement of goods on pallets. If wooden packaging occurs as outer packaging, a cost for handling difficult-to-handle goods is charged as the goods must be sorted manually.

This freight service combines both air and road transport depending on the country and area of ​​the recipients address. This way of transport is most common for freight outside Europe.

How should I pack the goods to avoid damage?
Your goods are handled and sorted at the terminal together with other goods. Add shock-absorbing material based on the nature and fragility of the content. The goods must lie still and the weight must be evenly distributed within the packaging. It is always a good thing to document the packaging with photographs to facilitate the complaint process in the event of damage.

How are the goods transported? Your package is handled and sorted via at least two terminals. The freight is first picked up by the carrier and driven to the nearest terminal. At the terminal, it is sorted individually or in cages together with other goods that are going to the same area and driven to the next terminal. From this terminal it is finally run out to the receiver.

How long is the delivery time? An estimate of the delivery time is made in connection with the price calculation. Delivery to a private individual usually takes one working day longer than to companies. If the sender or recipient is not available at pick-up or delivery, it affects the delivery time.

The purpose of this description is to give an idea of ​​how the transport is carried out and what is included. We reserve the right to amend any clerical errors.
