What is the maximum size for a package?
Do you want to ship a 2 m package? With conventional parcel services such as DHL, you will quickly run into limits here – but not with Cargoboard! We make it possible to ship large packages flexibly, reliably, and without complicated restrictions.
Whether you want to ship an XXL package or a particularly long package weighing 45 kg – these dimensions are no problem for us. Even if you want to ship a 70 kg package, costs and handling remain transparent and straightforward with us.
While many service providers restrict the shipping of long packages, Cargoboard lets you ship large packages with ease – quickly, efficiently, and with no hidden additional costs.
Ship a 40 kg package
Shipping a 40 kg package is no problem with us! From 30 kg, however, it must be palletized and forklift-accessible. The package should also be secured to the pallet with lashing straps or film. With the right packaging, you can ship your 40 kg package with us – safely, reliably, and without complicated restrictions.
Ship a 50 kg package
Would you like to ship a 50 kg package? With Cargoboard, this is easily possible! To ensure smooth transport, this package must also be placed on a pallet and be forklift-accessible from 30 kg. It should also be secured with lashing straps and film. This allows you to ship your 50 kg package without having to worry about damage or transport restrictions.
Large package shipping costs - What are they made up of?
The costs of shipping a large package depend on several factors, including size, weight, and transport distance.
We also offer two shipping options, which also affect the cost of shipping large packages.
Standard shipping
A cost-effective solution suitable for transports where a slightly longer transit time is not a decisive factor.
Premium shipping
For particularly urgent transports, our Premium shipping option is the right choice. Your shipment is prioritized and reaches its destination quickly and reliably.
Especially for bulky or heavy packages, it is important to calculate the costs in advance. Our shipping cost calculator shows you at a glance which options are best suited to your needs. This keeps shipping efficient, predictable, and free of hidden additional costs.

Frequently asked questions about shipping large packages
Wie versende ich ein großes Paket?
Ein großes Paket zu versenden ist ganz einfach: Geben Sie Ihre Daten online ein, und Sie erhalten sofort den passenden Preis. Wichtig ist eine stabile Verpackung – nutzen Sie robuste Kartons, Polstermaterial und Klebeband. Ab einem Gewicht von 30 kg muss Ihre Sendung auf einer Palette transportiert werden. Nach der Buchung holen wir Ihr Paket direkt bei Ihnen ab und liefern es zuverlässig an die Zieladresse.
Kann ich ein großes Paket auch als Privatperson versenden?
Wir bieten den Versand von großen Paketen ausschließlich für Gewerbekunden, Behörden und Unternehmen an. Ein Transport im Auftrag von Privatpersonen ist komplett ausgeschlossen.
Was ist der frühestmögliche Abholtermin? Kann heute noch abgeholt werden?
Wenn Sie Ihre Bestellung bis 10:00 Uhr aufgeben, gibt es Regionen, bei denen wir eine taggleiche Abholung anbieten. Ob Ihre Region diesen Service anbietet, erfahren Sie nach Eingabe des Abhol- und Anlieferortes in unserer Plattform.
Kann ich meine Bestellung nach der Buchung noch anpassen?
Ja, Sie haben die Möglichkeit, Ihre Bestellung nach der Buchung über das Solution Center oder den Customer Support anzupassen. Wir empfehlen, Änderungen so früh wie möglich mitzuteilen, um einen reibungslosen Ablauf zu gewährleisten.
Ist mein Transport versichert, wenn ich ein großes Paket versenden?
Standardmäßig ist Ihr Versand nicht durch eine separate Versicherung gedeckt. Im Falle eines Verlustes oder Schadens greift lediglich die gesetzliche Transporthaftung, welche eine Entschädigung von etwa 10 € pro Kilogramm Schadensgewicht vorsieht. Das bedeutet, dass sich die Entschädigung ausschließlich auf das Schadensgewicht des beschädigten oder verlorenen Guts bezieht. Als Beispiel: Wird ein Laptop mit einem Gewicht von 2 kg beschädigt, würde die Haftung lediglich eine Entschädigung von 20 € vorsehen.
Um umfassenden Schutz für Ihre Sendung zu gewährleisten, empfehlen wir den Abschluss unserer Transportversicherung. Diese bietet einen erweiterten Schutz über die gesetzliche Transporthaftung hinaus und sorgt dafür, dass Sie im Schadens- oder Verlustfall angemessen entschädigt werden.
Wie funktioniert die Sendungsverfolgung?
Um den aktuellen Status Ihrer Sendung zu überprüfen, besuchen Sie bitte unsere Sendungsverfolgung unter https://my.cargoboard.com/de/tracking. Dort geben Sie einfach die Sendungsnummer sowie die Postleitzahl des Empfängers ein und erhalten den Status Ihrer Sendung.
