What is bulky goods?
Bulky goods are all goods that do not fit into the usual boxes due to their weight or size. Caused by their format, they take up space from other goods and therefore cause higher costs for transportation and storage. Bulky goods shipping is used, among other things, for
art or cratf items
sports equipment such as ski equipment
large art objects and pictures
industrial components, workpieces and raw materials
special or valuable pieces of furniture
When does a parcel become bulky goods?
A parcel is generally classified as bulky goods if one or more of the following points apply:
The longest side of the parcel measures more than 100 cm.
The parcel weighs more than 5 kg.
The package has a circumference of more than 3 m.
The parcel is misshapen and parts are protruding or sticking out.
It is possible that certain shipping service providers use different classifications to determine when a parcel is considered bulky goods. The question of what constitutes bulky goods can only be answered individually. Please contact us for personal advice on your bulky goods shipment and the shipping costs. We will work with you to determine whether your parcel is bulky goods and which shipping method is suitable for you.
Bulky goods are more common in some sectors than in others. Below you will find classic examples of bulky goods shipments.

Shipping particularly oversized goods – what should be considered?
You’ve sold your bike online and now want to ship it? If you’re shipping particularly large items, options like pallet shipping are often expensive. Therefore, it is useful to get an individual quote for the package. Often, freight forwarding can be a cost-effective alternative to oversized cargo shipments. To do this, contact myGermany, our experts will personally advise you and work with you to determine the best option for shipping oversized goods.
With proper packaging materials, oversized goods can be packed perfectly and safely. Our staff will be happy to advise you personally on this as well.
Packing of large goods?
Shipping large goods also imposes special requirements for proper packaging. Custom cardboard boxes easily accommodate large and bulky items. In addition, it is a good idea to fill the cavities with filler material. This prevents individual pieces from moving around within the package. If all the pieces in the package are securely connected together – for example, with adhesive tape – transport is also safer. Bubble wrap can also be a good option for shipping oversized goods.
There are packaging solutions suitable for many types of bulk goods. Bicycle boxes are a good example. But moving boxes for large artworks and sculptures are also available.
Ideally, no parts of the packaging should protrude. This not only makes transportation more difficult, but also increases the risk of damage to the goods. If goods are sent completely empty, they will not be insured against damage in transit. Therefore, the goods must either be packed by yourself or by the service provider.

Shipping oversized & bukly goods with a shipping service provider or freight forwarder?
Both classic freight service providers and freight forwarders handle the transportation of oversized goods. Costs can vary greatly. Often times, working with a freight forwarder is a cheaper alternative to shipping oversized goods – especially if shipping volume is high.
Transit time is another factor to consider when choosing between a shipping service provider and a freight forwarder. Shipping providers typically offer faster delivery than freight forwarders, who often take several days to move a load.
Any additional charges for special services such as picking up bulky items or shipping to a specific location should also be mentioned in this regard.
myGermany and our wide network of shipping service providers and shipping companies can determine the best terms for each shipment and carry out shipping of large-volume goods for you in the best possible way.
