When is a tail-lift truck required?

For B2C deliveries to residential addresses or retail stores without a loading dock. Tail-lift allows unloading heavy appliances without forklift. If the consignee has no dock, specify tail-lift in the booking.

Which European countries are the main sources for household appliances?

Germany (BSH/Siemens/Bosch), Poland (Indesit/Whirlpool/LG), Italy (Merloni group), and Turkey (Arcelik/Beko, Vestel). Poland is the fastest source (1-2 days), Italy 3-5 days, Turkey 5-7 days to Riga.

How should delivery to a retail distribution center be arranged?

DC deliveries typically require ASN (advance shipment notice), a confirmed time slot, and correct EAN label format. Late arrivals can trigger retailer penalties. We recommend planning with at least 4-8 hours of buffer.

Is LTL consolidation available from multiple EU suppliers?

Yes. Shipments from multiple EU suppliers -- for example from Poland and Germany -- are consolidated into one truck. Correct packaging and stacking standards for each product type must be maintained.

What Appliances We Transport

Damage Prevention and Packaging

White goods combine heavy weight and fragility -- washing machines weigh 60-90 kg; TV screens crack on impact. Damage controls: original factory packaging with foam inserts is preserved in transit; damaged cartons receive corner guards and extra wrap before loading; floor-loaded cargo uses securing straps. Tail-lift trucks are required for B2C deliveries to upper floors and retail stores without a loading dock. All shipments are photographed at loading and unloading.
