Frequently asked questions about transportation
At Galogic, we focus primarily on sea, rail and air transport worldwide. In order to provide the most efficient solution for our clients, we combine the various types of transport. If necessary, we can also provide additional land transport.
The fastest way to transport your goods is by air. However, it is also the most expensive type of international transport. A slightly slower, but also more affordable option is rail transport.
The cheapest international transport of goods is by ship. However, it should be noted that this method of transport takes the longest. For clients looking for a compromise between price and speed, we recommend rail transport.
Our transport and logistics services are intended for companies/firms, as well as private individuals.
Yes. We can also transport your shipment from Asian countries.
In the case of sea transport from China and other Asian countries, a frequent stumbling block is the precise consultation of the conditions. If a foreign company provides you with transport, it can easily happen that the transport becomes several times more expensive. The shipment will end up in Europe, but here another carrier will require you to pay additional costs for transport to the exact destination. Therefore, we recommend that you secure a domestic carrier with transparent conditions (without unexpected expenses and price increases) and the possibility of tracking the shipment.
Yes. Such cases occur mainly in connection with the previous question. If it happened to you that your goods were left to hang somewhere in the port outside the expected delivery location, please contact us. We will communicate and arrange its final transport.
We do not have a general price list for international transport. First of all, it is always a question of the individual needs of the client, and secondly, it is necessary to adapt to transport prices, which constantly change over the course of several months. However, we can always prepare a tailor-made price offer for you.
We will prepare a quote for you promptly, within one working day at the latest.
In order to accurately determine the shipping price, we will need basic information about the shipment (what type of goods it is, including necessary permits for special shipments, weight/dimensions, stacking options, type of container for FCL, pallet dimensions for LCL), the exact location of loading and unloading (ideally a zip code) and information about the delivery terms defined in the agreement with the supplier (so-called INCOTERMS).
We do not specialize in domestic transport. However, for international transport due to final delivery to Slovakia, we do of course also use domestic routes.
