Tip: If bulky goods can be broken down into several individual parts, shipping several packages separately can also be an option.
Shipping bulky goods also places special demands on suitable packaging. Customized cardboard boxes easily accommodate large and bulky items. In addition, it is a good idea to fill cavities with filling material. This prevents individual pieces from moving around in the package. If all pieces in the package are securely connected to each other - for example, by adhesive tape - transport is also safer. Bubble wrap can also be a good choice for shipping bulky goods.
There are suitable packaging solutions for many types of bulky goods. Bicycle boxes are a good example. But transport boxes for large works of art and sculptures are also offered.
Ideally, no parts should protrude from a package. This not only makes transport more difficult, it also increases the risk of damage to the goods. If the goods are sent completely unpacked, they are not insured against damage in transit. Therefore, the goods should either be packed by yourself or by the service provider.
The delivery requirements for bulky goods are different for each order. Therefore, we offer customized prices to both our private and business customers. We determine shipping costs for bulky goods based on your individual needs to always ensure fair and competitive prices. Contact our MBE staff with your request.

Both classic shipping service providers and freight forwarders take on the transport of bulky goods. The costs can vary greatly. Often, working with a freight forwarder is the cheaper alternative for shipping bulky goods - especially if the shipping volume is high.
Transport time is another factor that should be considered when choosing between a shipping service provider and a freight forwarder. Shipping service providers typically offer faster delivery than freight forwarders, which often take several days to move a load.
Any surcharges for special services such as bulky item pickup or shipping to a specific location should also be mentioned in this regard.
