The calculator packs the way we do: sheets flat in a box, bars and profiles as a bundle. You see packages, dimensions, weight and shipping costs. ## Frequently asked questions **How are sheets packed?** Stacked flat with edge protection in a suitable box. Sheets larger than our boxes are packed as a flat pack with edge protection and film. **How are bars and profiles shipped?** As a wrapped bundle of film and cardboard. Up to 1.94 m part length this usually goes as a parcel, longer pieces with an express service up to around 6 m. We do not pack long pieces together with sheet. **When is a freight forwarder used?** Only if a package is too long or too heavy for parcel and express services or if there are very many packages. The calculator then shows a guide value, checkout shows the exact price. **Is the price binding?** No, the calculator is a preliminary calculation. The shipping price at checkout for your delivery address is binding. Collection in Frankfurt is free of charge.
