Groupage services: Shipment consolidation for reliable planning and maximum efficiency
Are you looking for a pan-European consolidation partner, who you can rely on for standardised services and definite lead times?
Our groupage services provide you with all that – and more. Depending on your required delivery time, you can choose between three service levels:
- Standard – delivery with standard lead times
- Fix – delivery on a fixed day
- First – delivery on the first possible day
The Fix and First service levels come with a money-back guarantee for the surcharge fee.
Please note that FIX and FIRST shipments are currently not available for outbound flows from the UK.
Sometimes, you may have additional requirements for your international groupage shipments – such as deliveries with tail-lift, time window deliveries or customs services. For situations like this, simply use the Groupage Scheduler to get an overview of the extra services available at the pick-up and final destinations as well as of the lead times for your chosen lanes.

The transport market throughout Europe is changing drastically, as is the rest of society
The transport market throughout Europe is changing drastically, as is the rest of society. We are, and will continue to be, affected by the consequences of the pandemic, in addition to Brexit, general driver shortages in Europe, changes in drivers’ regulations and general market unpredictability.
At the same time, costs are also affected by the experience of increased volumes and ever increasing demand for transport services.
The overall reduced capacity in the market combined with the cost increases mentioned above is challenging and based on the 2021 cost development forecast Kuehne + Nagel will be adjusting all Road Logistics rates by 9,7 % as of January 1st 2022.
