Information & Surcharges
A transport is subject to various surcharges, which are adjusted every month to follow the costs in the market.
When booking land transport, you must place your booking before 12:00 noon on the previous day.
State the number of items, the measurements and the weight of the consignment and whether you wish to buy our cargo insurance.
If your consignment weighs less than 2,500 kg, please book our DB SCHENKER system solution. If you require a specific lead time, please book DB SCHENKER system premium, which guarantees you a specific lead time.
For consignments in excess of 2,500 kg, please book our DB SCHENKER part load or DB SCHENKER full load solution.
