Frequently asked questions

How long does transport from Bulgaria to Germany take?

2–3 days on an express service and 3–5 working days on a standard groupage line, counted from loading. The same transit times apply in the opposite direction — from Germany to Bulgaria.

Do you offer van transport to Germany?

Yes — for shipments up to 1,200 kg and 8 euro pallets we use vans with express door-to-door delivery in 2–3 days, no transhipment. Ideal for urgent spare parts, samples and small batches.

Do you load from Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, Berlin?

Yes — the Germany–Bulgaria groupage line covers every industrial centre; from Hamburg, Bremen and the ports we also collect containerised goods after devanning. We do not carry household goods or personal luggage — business shipments only.

Can I send a single pallet to Germany?

Yes. Pallet shipments start at one pallet and travel on the scheduled groupage lines, so you pay for the space you occupy rather than for a whole truck.

When is a full truck cheaper than groupage?

Roughly from 10–12 europallets upwards, or when the goods must not be transhipped. A standard trailer takes 33–34 europallets and up to 24 tonnes.

Which documents are needed for transport between Bulgaria and Germany?

A commercial invoice, a packing list and a CMR consignment note. Both countries are in the EU — no customs declaration is required. You can create the CMR for free with our generator.

Do you carry dangerous goods and refrigerated cargo to Germany?

Yes — ADR cargo with certified vehicles and trained drivers, and temperature-controlled cargo in reefer trailers with a recorded temperature profile. Tell us when requesting a quote so we can choose the right truck.
