– 4 pallets = € 73.00 per pallet* plus 9% diesel surcharge
– From 5 pallets = on request*
The international shipping costs are based on the actual weight and the distance to the respective delivery location, regardless of the number of pallets to be transported (important: only a maximum of 11 bags of max. 70 kg per pallet are permitted).
*Surcharge for lifting platform over 2500kg = 120€
