"Transportation costs are reduced by 20 to 30 percent."

Why a separate system for pallet shipping no longer works
Most shipping platforms are built around parcels. The moment an order gets too heavy or too large, the platform stops and manual work begins.
| Without Wuunder | With Wuunder |
|---|---|
| "Call for a quote" on pallet orders | Pallet carriers bookable directly from the same platform |
| Manually requesting quotes from each carrier | Automatic carrier selection based on shipping rules |
| Separate system for pallets, separate system for parcels | One platform for parcels and pallets |
| No surcharge visibility until the invoice arrives | Carrier specifications and surcharge conditions visible upfront |
| Manually determining whether parcel or pallet is cheaper | PuzzlPack automatically calculates the most cost-effective option |
With Wuunder, that gap disappears. One platform gives you access to both parcel carriers and specialised pallet carriers. Your shipping rules automatically determine per order whether a parcel, multi-colli or pallet shipment is the best option.
Automatic carrier selection for pallets
Wuunder automatically selects the right pallet or groupage carrier per shipment. You configure shipping rules based on weight, dimensions, destination and carrier preference, and the platform handles the rest.
How it works:
- Your order comes in via your webshop, ERP or WMS
- Shipping rules match the shipment to the right pallet carrier
- Label, pickup confirmation and tracking are arranged instantly
- You follow all shipments (parcel and pallet) in one dashboard
Parcel or pallet: PuzzlPack decides automatically
When does an order fit better on a pallet than in multiple individual parcels? PuzzlPack calculates this per order. Based on the dimensions and weight of each product, the software determines the optimal packaging and automatically decides whether multi-colli parcels or pallet shipping is the best option.
he result: your warehouse always uses the most cost-effective shipping method, without anyone having to think about the cutoff between parcel and pallet. PuzzlPack is available via Magento, API or MyWuunder.
Offer pallet delivery in your checkout
With Wuunder Checkout, you display pallet and groupage delivery options alongside parcel, service point and locker options. Especially relevant for B2B webshops where customers order heavy or large products.
The checkout adapts automatically based on the shopping cart: lightweight orders see parcel options, heavy or bulky orders automatically receive pallet and groupage options with corresponding delivery times.
Does a customer order a full outdoor furniture set weighing 80 kg? The checkout automatically shows pallet delivery instead of parcel options. No separate system needed, no manual splitting.
Available via API, Shopify Plus, Shopware, Magento and WooCommerce.

The platform also supports FTL (full truckloads). See the full overview on the carriers page.
Q: Can I combine pallet and parcel carriers?
A: Yes. Wuunder automatically selects the best carrier per order, regardless of whether it is a parcel or pallet carrier. Shipping rules determine the choice based on weight, dimensions and destination. For example, you can configure lightweight orders to ship via DHL or PostNL and heavy orders to automatically go via TransMission or DSV. All from the same platform, no manual switching.
Q: How do I know if my order ships better as a pallet?
A: PuzzlPack calculates per order whether multi-colli parcels or pallet shipping is the better option. The software analyses the dimensions and weight of each product and calculates all possible packaging combinations. Does an order exceed your parcel carrier's maximum weight? PuzzlPack determines whether one pallet via, say, TransMission or Ben Becker is a better fit than multiple individual parcels. The optimal option is selected automatically.
Q: Can I offer pallet delivery in my checkout?
A: Yes. Wuunder Checkout automatically displays pallet and groupage delivery options alongside standard parcel delivery, depending on the shopping cart. The checkout adapts dynamically: lightweight orders show parcel options, heavy orders automatically receive pallet delivery options with delivery times. Available via API, Shopify Plus, Shopware, Magento and WooCommerce.
Q: Do I need my own contract with a pallet carrier?
A: That depends on your situation. Have your own contract with, say, TransMission or DSV? Connect it in Wuunder and use your own pricing and service agreements. No contract yet? Get in touch so we can discuss the options.
Q: Are pallet carrier pickups booked automatically?
A: Yes. As soon as you create a label, Wuunder automatically books the pickup with the relevant carrier. TransMission collects via their regional partner, typically the next business day. Drivers come equipped with tail lift and electric pallet truck as standard. For daily volume, most carriers offer fixed daily pickup schedules. Track your shipments via Wuunder Track.
Q: Are customs documents generated automatically for international pallet shipments?
A: Yes. For international groupage shipments via Schenker - DSV or Mainfreight, Wuunder automatically generates the required customs documents (commercial invoices). This applies to shipments outside the EU.
