What Is Freight Shipping?
Freight shipping is a shipping method that is used to transport goods that are too large, heavy, or complex for standard parcel carriers. This includes shipments on pallets, oversized items, and goods that require specialist handling or loading equipment. When you need a practical and reliable solution, count on MBE to help. We offer freight shipping solutions for private customers as well as business clients, with options for standard freight, express freight, and international freight. Our experienced and knowledgeable team will assess your shipment and provide you with a tailored freight quote to ensure you get the most cost-effective and appropriate service.
Pallet and Euro Pallet Shipping
Pallet shipping is one of the most common freight requests we get at MBE, especially from businesses shipping large quantities of goods to customers, retailers, or warehouses. We handle standard Euro pallets (120 x 80 cm) as well as custom pallet sizes, and can arrange collections from your premises or business location. Our freight pallet pricing is transparent and based on weight, dimensions, and destination. We invite you to contact us for a personalised pallet shipping quote today. And for time-sensitive pallet deliveries, our express freight options are also available.
- Standard freight for pallets and oversized goods
- Express freight for time-critical shipments
- International freight shipping across Europe and worldwide
- Freight to Switzerland (non-EU customs included)
- Freight shipping including professional packaging by MBE
- Online freight quote request available
If your freight is sensitive, high-value, or unusual, we can also advise you on specialist handling.
Freight Shipping Including Professional Packaging
One of MBE’s most valued freight advantages is our ability to professionally pack your goods before dispatch. Many freight items like heavy machinery, large electronics, and furniture need custom packaging to survive transit safely. Our team of trained packaging specialists will assess each item and create bespoke crates, padded wrapping, or palletised packaging solutions. The ultimate goal is to meet both carrier and insurance requirements and for you to enjoy full confidence in safe and reliable shipments. Our end-to-end service means you can hand off your freight to MBE and have full peace of mind that it will arrive safely and fully intact.
