What exactly are bulky goods?

Do you have an item that just doesn't fit into a standard box? Welcome to the world of bulky goods! Essentially, anything that can't automatically roll through the sorting systems of large parcel services is considered bulky.

A normal parcel is rectangular, has smooth surfaces, and can be stacked. As soon as something is round, has protruding parts, is unstably packed, or exceeds standard dimensions (usually 120 x 60 x 60 cm), it becomes bulky goods. The problem: manual handling in distribution centres takes time – and that's why many providers charge exorbitant surcharges. But don't worry: with us, you can send your bulky goods affordably, because we know exactly which transport route is the most efficient.

Tip: Calculate postage – our postage calculator for parcels will immediately show you whether your consignment can still be sent as a parcel or if it needs to be dispatched as bulky goods.

The Golden Rule: Over 30 kg? Get it on a pallet!

The Golden Rule: Over 30 kg? Get it on a pallet!

This is the most important point that many underestimate: if your bulky goods weigh more than 30 kg, then 'just sending it' isn't an option. For reasons of occupational safety and smooth transport, anything over 30 kg must be placed on a pallet.

Why? Because no driver can lift a 50 kg monster alone. On a pallet, your consignment can be safely moved with a pallet truck or forklift. So if you want to send heavy bulky goods, please book the 'pallet' packing material directly in our calculator. This will save you hassle during collection and ensure your goods arrive safely.

When shipping bulky goods, form and urgency are key. We offer you two options:

General Cargo – The Standard

Your bulky goods will be transported along with other consignments within the Emons network. This is the most affordable method if your goods are well-packed and standard transit times are sufficient.

✅ Most affordable price
✅ Nationwide network
✅ Standard dimensions up to 2.40 m
🎯 Ideal for: tyres, carpets, smaller furniture parts

Direct Transport – For Special Cases

A vehicle travels directly from you to the recipient – without transshipment at a depot. Perfect for extremely long or delicate goods.

✅ No transshipment, less risk
✅ Fastest transit time
✅ No length restriction
🎯 Ideal for: goods over 2.40 m, delicate items, urgent consignments

The best way is to compare prices on versandrechner.de. We bundle private orders and pass on Simplelogistik's corporate rates to you. Make sure to provide the dimensions as accurately as possible – surprises on collection usually cost extra.
Honestly: the driver is then allowed to refuse to take them. Freight forwarding goods must be 'fit for handling'. This means they must be sufficiently protected to stand in the lorry alongside other items.
Yes, definitely! Unless you completely dismantle it into a tiny standard carton. Most of the time, it's sent in a special bicycle carton as bulky goods.
Generally, a lorry will come to you. Ensure that the lorry can stop and that the bulky goods are ideally ready on the kerbside or for collection.
For standard general cargo, usually up to approx. 2.40 m or 3.00 m (depending on the partner). Anything beyond that, we'll arrange for you via direct transport.
