From Braintree the load runs via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Belgium and the Dutch or Belgian border into Germany, then autobahn direct to the delivery region. Typical transit into Germany is 1–3 days.

Collecting in Braintree
Business collections are routine in Braintree Town Centre, Springwood Industrial and Eastways Industrial, where loading windows and access rules are usually the deciding factor rather than the goods themselves.
Our route out of Braintree uses A12 (nearby), A120 and A131, which is why we can give you a realistic departure time rather than a vague window.
If your address is near Braintree Museum and Freeport Braintree, tell us — parking and access there shape the vehicle we send.

How we pack before anything leaves
Packing happens at your Braintree address, not at a depot. Materials are selected for the item and for the ferry or tunnel crossing ahead of it.
- Survey of the item before we quote so the packing spec is right first time
- Double-wall cartons, edge protection and corner boards for rigid goods
- Foam, bubble and blanket wrap chosen by material, not by habit
- Palletising and strapping where the load benefits from it
The route to Germany
Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Belgium and the Dutch or Belgian border into Germany, then autobahn direct to the delivery region. That is roughly 480 road miles from London to Berlin, adjusted for your Braintree collection point.
Export declaration and German import entry. German consignees frequently require EORI details and a commercial invoice with commodity codes on business shipments.

Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from Braintree to Germany take?
Typically 1–3 days, routing via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Belgium and the Dutch or Belgian border into Germany. Economy and groupage services take longer because they run to a network schedule. We will give you a realistic band once we know the collection date and the delivery address.
Do you collect from anywhere in Braintree?
Yes — homes, businesses, salerooms and storage units across Braintree and the rest of Essex. Multi-stop collections go on one route and one quotation rather than being charged as separate jobs.
Will you pack everything for me?
Yes. We arrive with cartons, foam, blankets, boards and strapping and pack at your address. If you have already packed and want us to check the work before export, we will do that instead and tell you honestly whether it will survive the journey.
How much does it cost from Braintree to Germany?
Guide prices start at £195 for documents and small parcels, £295 for boxes and personal effects, £395 for auction collections and £495 for furniture and large items. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.
