Kaukokiito Groupage

Groupage weighs maximum of 3,000 kg, and the total volume maximum of 9 m³. The maximum weight of an individual parcel is 1,200 kg, and the maximum dimensions of the parcel are 1.8 m x 2.4 m x 2.2 m (length x width x height). The shipment goes normally through a terminal both in the departure and destination points. Read more about freighting the shipment.

Each parcel should be packaged safely and they must be suitable for processing by machine. If the shipment includes several parcels, they must be packed on a pallet or on another approved transport carrier.

The Kaukokiito Groupage service can easily be ordered via Kaukoputki or via other electronic order portals. The electronic transport order must be made on the pickup day by 1:00 p.m.

The price of the shipment is formed during the ordering process and it is based on the transported distance and on the shipment’s freighting weight. Fee-based additional services can be ordered for the Groupage. Please note that the carrier reserves the right to correct the freighting weight.

An electronic groupage order made before 1:00 p.m. is mostly picked up on the same day by 4:00 p.m. Other orders or an electronic order made after 1:00 p.m. are picked up during the next business day.

The shipment will usually be delivered on the next business day following the order to the address marked in the parcel label or waybill. The shipment is unloaded to the immediate vicinity of the vehicle using a tail lift and a pump cart or it is unloaded by the recipient using his/her own unloading equipment. The shipment may be unloaded as an additional service with, for example, a crane.
