The cost of shipping a pallet from Poland to France via Furgonetka depends on the pallet type, not its weight. Shipments are handled by DHL Freight, and the final rate is influenced by four factors: the type of pallet (half-pallet, Euro-pallet, industrial pallet), the recipient's postal code in France, the address type (business or residential), and any selected additional services. You can check the current price in our calculator.

What this means in practice:

• A Euro-pallet weighing 80 kg and one weighing 700 kg have the same base price — the pallet type matters, not the weight.
• The recipient's postal code determines the zone — France is the largest EU country by area, so delivery to Lille or Strasbourg may cost differently than to Toulouse, Bordeaux, or Marseille.
• Shipping to or from a residential address incurs a one-time surcharge (it does not double if both addresses are residential).
• Shipment insurance is optional and paid — you can cover goods up to 19,999 PLN.
• A vehicle with a lift gate is included in the service and is ordered automatically, without the need for a special request.

‍

You can ship a pallet to France via the Furgonetka.pl dashboard in four steps: select the pallet type and enter the recipient's postal code, order DHL Freight shipping, print the shipping label and attach it to the packed pallet, and a courier will collect it from your specified address. The service is door-to-door and available under a brokerage agreement — there is no need to find a separate carrier or negotiate a contract with a French operator.

Step by step:

1. Get a quote — provide the pallet type (half-pallet, Euro-pallet, industrial pallet) and the recipient's postal code in France. The price depends on the pallet type, not its weight.
2. Order the shipment — placing an order automatically schedules the courier pickup. There is no separate "order a courier" step.
3. Prepare the pallet — wrap the goods in stretch film, secure them with straps, and ensure nothing protrudes beyond the pallet's edges. You must provide the pallet yourself; the courier does not bring one.
4. Attach the shipping label to the outside of the shipment and hand the pallet over to the DHL Freight courier.

What you should know before shipping:

• A vehicle with a tail lift is ordered automatically — you do not need to request this or select any additional options in the form. A loading ramp at the sender's location is not required.
• Shipping to or from a private address incurs a one-time surcharge.
• Insurance for goods up to 19,999 PLN is optional — this service does not include free insurance.
• Shipment redirection is possible at any stage of transport, but only within France and subject to an individual quote. You cannot redirect a pallet from France to another country.

‍

You can ship a half-pallet (80 × 60 cm), a Euro-pallet (120 × 80 cm), or an industrial pallet (120 × 100 cm) to France, with a maximum weight of 750 kg and a maximum height of 210 cm — both parameters include the pallet itself. A single order can include multiple pallets of the same type.
‍

Available pallet types and quantity limits per shipment:

• Half-pallet — 80 × 60 cm — maximum 5 units per shipment.
• Euro-pallet (EPAL) — 120 × 80 cm — maximum 5 units per shipment.
• Industrial pallet — 120 × 100 cm — maximum 4 units per shipment.

Other rules:

• Maximum weight per pallet, including the pallet: 750 kg. Maximum height: 210 cm.
• Maximum actual weight of the entire multi-pallet shipment: 2500 kg.
• You cannot combine different types of pallets in a single order — all pallets in a shipment must be of the same type.
• Goods must not hang over or extend beyond the edge of the pallet — overhanging cartons lose more than 30% of their structural strength.
• The top surface of the shipment must be flat; stacking items in a pyramid shape puts the goods at risk of damage and delays.
• The pallet must be wrapped in stretch film and secured with straps; attach the shipping label to the outside, never inside the load.
• The courier does not provide pallets — the sender is responsible for providing them.

Shipments not packed according to these guidelines may be re-priced by the carrier according to the Road Freight Standard offer.

No. Metropolitan France and Corsica are part of the European Union's customs and tax territory, so a pallet sent from Poland is not subject to customs clearance or duties. You do not need to prepare a customs declaration, export declaration, or pay any customs duties.

Documents worth preparing when shipping to France:

• Shipping label - generated in the Furgonetka.pl panel and attached to the pallet before the courier arrives.
• Commercial invoice - included with the goods for B2B shipments; it is also useful in the event of a claim.
• Recipient's EU VAT number - the French TVA intracommunautaire number with the FR prefix, if you are settling the transaction as an intra-Community supply of goods (ICS) at a 0% rate.
• Proof of delivery - for ICS, tax authorities may require proof that the goods have reached France.
