Irregularly shaped shipment

No problem! We can ship goods of atypical form all over the world.

An irregularly shaped shipment must be placed in a box or attached to a pallet with a cable tie.

Pallet
Are you looking for a favorable and fast way to send a large or heavy shipment abroad?
We offer quality and fast service at the best prices.
Delivery of the oversized shipments is provided by TNT and TOPTRANS.
1. Pay attention on the correct packing
The goods must be placed on the pallet carefully so that they do not exceed the pallet itself. Otherwise, the shipment may be returned by the carrier to the sender.
2. Fix the shipment carefully
Use cable tie or foil to fix the goods to the pallet. The fastening must also run across the pallet so that the goods form an indivisible whole with it.
3. Clearly mark the shipment
Place shipping labels on the side of the pallet, not on the top. If nothing can be placed on the pallet, please let us know in the order.
How to pack goods on a pallet correctly?
- The goods on the pallet must not extend beyond the edges of the pallet. Suppose a part of a specific consignment nevertheless comes off the pallet. In that case, its part must be fixed in order not to damage other consignments during the transportation.
The right dimensions and weight are important!
Please be as accurate as possible when filling out the order form.
