General cargo - Flexible transport solutions between Sweden and Italy
Need to send smaller consignments that don’t require a full truck? With Italienexpressen you get a smooth and cost-effective transportation solution for general cargo shipped within Europe, with special expertise in deliveries to and from Sweden and Italy. We offer daily departures, flexible logistics and personalized service.
What is general cargo?
General cargo is units of goods that are transported in pieces, for example in pallets, cartons or on pallets. It differs from full load transportation by handling each shipment individually. It’s a perfect option when your shipping volumes aren’t enough to fill a whole truck, but you still want the same high quality and delivery reliability.
The service is particularly suitable for those who:
- Have individual units that need to be sent separately.
- Needs fast and direct delivery without having to wait for co-loading.
- Transporting sensitive or fragile goods that require special handling or packaging.
- Want full control over delivery without paying for unused cargo space.
Whether you need to ship electronics, textiles or machine components, we can help you find the right shipping solution.
What is the difference between general cargo and consignment goods?
General cargo and consignment goods are two different transport options suitable for different types of shipments.
General cargo:
- Refers to smaller consignments that are transported together with other shipments.
- These include cartons, pallets or bulky units that do not fill an entire truck.
- You only pay for the space your goods occupy in the vehicle, making it a cost-effective option.
Partigods:
- Refers to smaller consignments that are transported together with other shipments.
- These include cartons, pallets or bulky units that do not fill an entire truck.
- You only pay for the space your goods occupy in the vehicle, making it a cost-effective option.
The most suitable solution depends on the volume and weight of the goods, how much space it requires in the vehicle and your timeframe. At Italienexpressen, we help you choose the right shipping option.
