Shipping to Munich and Bavaria
Munich, the capital of Bavaria, lies in the far south of Germany, roughly 800 km from the North Sea ports. Cargo is unloaded on the coast and carried south by land, which is why the carrier's transit estimate for Munich is longer than for most German cities, while the rate is the same as for other inland destinations.
For consignees in southern Bavaria, Augsburg, Rosenheim and the Alpine foothills, Munich is the right destination; for Franconia (Nuremberg, Würzburg) compare Nuremberg, which the tariff currently serves noticeably faster.
Munich is Germany's most expensive city for moving, so shipping your own furniture and household goods is often worth it. Plan the timing: the long transit means cargo shipped in late summer may arrive close to Oktoberfest, when hotels and moving companies are busy. Bring your passport and registration certificate (Anmeldung) for customs.
The city's ring road (Mittlerer Ring) is often congested; plan collection early in the day.
