A customized shipping quote can save you money on larger shipments. Many companies now calculate their less-than-truckload (LTL) and full truckload (FTL) shipments conveniently online—quickly, transparently, and around the clock. That’s exactly the big advantage of the SpediFux price calculator. However, once your shipment reaches a certain volume, it’s also worth reaching out briefly to our customer service team. Thanks to our strong network of carriers, we can often offer you customized daily rates that are tailored precisely to your shipment. In this article, we’ll show you when it’s particularly worthwhile to request a personalized shipping quote.

The last few meters are often the most challenging. This is exactly where floor-level delivery comes in: Instead of leaving the goods at the loading dock or at the front door, they are taken directly to where they’re needed—to the upper floor of a commercial building, to the warehouse on the second floor, or via a freight elevator straight into the wine cellar. At SpediFux, floor-level delivery is a standard service. In this article, you’ll learn what floor-level delivery entails, when it’s worth it, and what companies in Switzerland should keep in mind.

The logistics industry is undergoing a transformation. Traditional freight forwarders, which for decades relied on paper, the telephone, and personal networks, now face digital competitors that automate processes and rely on data-driven decisions. A comparison of freight forwarders clearly shows that modern, digital freight forwarders are catching up rapidly—and setting new standards. But what exactly distinguishes the two models? And what are their respective strengths and weaknesses?

Courier services and express transportation play a central role in the smooth flow of goods trade in Switzerland. Pallet transportation within Switzerland in particular is becoming increasingly important - whether in trade, industry or e-commerce.

Shipping bulky goods in Switzerland poses particular challenges for many companies. Whether it's oversized equipment, machinery or other unwieldy goods – such shipments require a well-thought-out logistics solution.

A good freight forwarder ensures the safe and punctual transport of your goods. Take advantage of the benefits of the SpediFux digital platform to compare prices and book transport directly. This saves you time, money and avoids unnecessary complications.

For many companies, general cargo transport in Switzerland is an essential service for shipping smaller quantities of goods efficiently and cost-effectively. In contrast to full loads, where the entire loading space is used, general cargo shipping only uses part of the loading space. This form of transport is ideal for shipments between 30 kg and 3,000 kg. General cargo is therefore particularly suitable for handling regular deliveries or individual orders with small quantities.

In the world of transportation, hidden costs are often a nuisance for customers. They can lead to unpleasant surprises and significantly impair trust in the service provider. For companies like SpediFux, which specialise in the transport of shipments that are too large for parcel services, up to complete loads, it is therefore crucial to offer cost transparency.

Where is your shipment located? When will your shipment be delivered? What is the current status of your shipment? Or would you like to receive proof of delivery for the transport? You will receive an answer to all these questions with the help of the comprehensive SpediFux tracking system.
