Rail LCL consolidated delivery China — Poland from $230 per m³
We move LCL consolidated rail cargo from China to Poland from $230 per cubic metre — the lowest overland rate available. The journey itself takes 20–25 days station to station; from our warehouse in Guangzhou the total transit time is 27–32 days, since delivery to the station and handling are added. The minimum shipment is one cubic metre.
Why rail makes sense right now
Rail consolidation is the cheapest overland way to bring cargo from China into Europe. At $230 per cubic metre the rate is several tens of dollars below the road rate, and on regular supplies that difference is felt.
It is worth being straightforward about transit times. The journey itself, station to station, takes 20–25 days. But from our warehouse in Guangzhou to a warehouse in Poland it comes to 27–32 days: delivery of the cargo to the station, loading and handling add roughly a week. So if you compare the full warehouse-to-warehouse time, the road route turns out to be faster, if more expensive.
The route runs through Małaszewicze — the largest rail freight crossing between China and the EU.

The difference between the two figures is delivery from our warehouse to the rail station, loading and handling — roughly a week. We quote both so that you see the full picture. The minimum shipments apply to freight into Europe only. For turnkey DDP delivery into Ukraine there are no limits — we move a few cartons just as readily as a full container.
What is included
Collection and consolidation
Collection from the supplier, receipt at the warehouse, weighing, measuring and building the consignment. Checking and inspection of the goods are not included in the rate — that is a separate service.
Export declaration — charged separately
Transport documents are included in the rate. The Chinese export declaration is charged separately where one is required — we issue it even when the supplier has no export licence.
Rail carriage
Carriage to Poland via Małaszewicze, with status tracking in your personal account.
Onward into Ukraine
Transit documentation, customs clearance and door delivery — as a separate service.
Why your cargo is safe with us
Our own infrastructure in China
Four warehouses — Guangzhou, Beijing, Yiwu, Hong Kong. The cargo is received, checked and consolidated by our own people, not by a subcontractor you have no access to.
We handle export documentation ourselves
We issue the Chinese export declaration even when the supplier has no export licence. That is the situation in which most carriers simply decline.
Fixed before departure
The rate is not recalculated on arrival. It can change only where the actual dimensions differ from those declared — and that is visible from the measurement before despatch.
Status in your account around the clock
Every package, weight, volume, photo and date sits in your personal account. There is no need to message a manager to find out where the cargo is.
