Groupage cargo delivery
Shipping from a single pallet — no need to wait for a full truck.
Groupage is for consignments that do not fill a truck: instead of a whole trailer you pay for the space you actually took. That space is not measured by weight alone. The carrier charges on the greater of two figures — actual weight or volumetric — and the second is often the larger. Road freight typically counts 333 kilograms to the cubic metre, air freight about 167. So a light bulky consignment costs like a heavy one.
What it covers
- We collect consignments from several suppliers at a consolidation warehouse and send them as one shipment. Most often this is groupage from China, Turkey and Korea, where one buyer has several sellers at once.
- We take from a single pallet — no waiting for a full truck to fill up.
- We price both options, groupage and a dedicated vehicle, and show where the line between them falls.
- We check compatibility: food, chemicals and anything that smells do not travel in the same compartment.
- You get a document for your part of the load, not a shared one for the whole truck.
What we need from you
- Gross weight and dimensions of every package
- Type of packing: pallet, carton, crate
- The sender’s address and contact
- Invoice and packing list
- Special requirements: temperature, fragility, whether it can be stacked
Transit times
| Mode | Transit | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Road freight | 7–20 days | When door-to-door timing and control along the route matter most |
| Rail freight | 18–35 days | When volumes are large and cost outweighs speed |
| Air freight | 3–7 days | When the cargo is urgent and freight cost is secondary |
| Sea and container freight | 30–50 days | When the shipment is large and the route allows a long leg |
Average transit from the departure border to a warehouse in Uzbekistan. The exact time depends on the origin city and is fixed in the contract.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum you take?
One pallet. Anything smaller than a pallet we do not take: courier or post is cheaper for it, and it is not our line of work.
How is the price worked out?
On the greater of two figures: actual weight or volumetric weight. That is why bulky light cargo is charged like heavy cargo.
Does groupage take longer?
Usually by a few days: the load has to be assembled before departure and broken down on arrival. We give the exact figure for your route.
What cannot go as groupage?
Dangerous goods outside a dedicated scheme, items that must not travel next to each other, and anything needing its own temperature regime. Tell us what the goods are and we will find a way.
