How should I pack my package?


Your parcel is handled and sorted at the terminal together with other goods. Based on the nature of the content, it is important to add shock-absorbing material depending on how sensitive the content is. The goods must lay still and the weight must be evenly distributed in the package. It is recommended that the goods must pass a shake test and be able to protect the goods in the event of a drop/fall of 1,5 meters. Feel free to document the packaging to be able to demonstrate how the packaging is made in the event of damage.

How is my parcel shipped? Your parcel is handled and sorted via at least two terminals. The freight is picked up by the carrier and driven to the nearest terminal. At the terminal, the parcel is machine-sorted together with other goods that are going to the same area in Sweden. The parcel is then packaged in cages together with other goods and driven to the next terminal. From this terminal, the parcel is finally driven out to the delivery point and will be announced that it is available for collection.
How long is the delivery time? Delivery time varies but is normally between 1-3 working days from collection. However, there are some exceptions as some locations are not served daily for collection and/or delivery.
Do additional costs arise when packages are not picked up? Yes, upon returning goods to the sender, additional transport costs are charged. When a return delivery is automatically generated, costs for the transport are also added.


TIRES ARE FORBIDDEN TO SEND. This service prohibits tires as a type of package. Regardless of whether it is packaged in plastic or cardboard, this type of parcel is not approved. This is derived from work environment laws and regulations at the carriers. If tires are sent anyway, your transport will be rebooked to the correct service and the difference will be debited afterwards.
