Short answer: in Copenhagen in 2026, a pallet sent through a shared freight network typically costs around DKK 400 to 1,000 and arrives in one to three days with no fixed time. A dedicated van with a tail lift that collects your pallet and drives it straight to the receiver costs more: at Get It All Service ApS it starts at DKK 2,195 excl. VAT including the first pallet. A dedicated courier run starts at DKK 1,095 excl. VAT. This guide explains what you get at each price level, so you can choose the right one.
The three ways to move a pallet or parcel in Denmark
| Option | Typical price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Shared pallet network | About DKK 400 to 1,000 per pallet | Your pallet travels with many other shipments through terminals. Delivery in one to three working days, usually without a fixed time window. |
| Gig and marketplace drivers | About DKK 500 to 1,200 for a short local job | A private driver or small operator. Price and equipment vary from job to job, and a tail lift is not guaranteed. |
| Dedicated van with tail lift | From DKK 2,195 excl. VAT at GIA | One vehicle, one driver, your goods only. Collected and delivered directly, the same day or at the agreed time. |
Why dedicated delivery costs more
A shared network is cheap because one truck carries dozens of customers’ pallets and the cost is split between them. That is the right choice for goods that are not urgent and can be delivered at any point during the day.
Dedicated delivery is priced differently because the whole vehicle works for you. The price covers the van and driver for the full job, a tail lift and pallet jack so the goods can be loaded without a forklift, time to secure the load, and a direct route with no terminal stops. When the van drives outside Copenhagen, it usually returns empty, which is why long-distance runs are priced per kilometre.

How to keep the price down
- Give the real pallet count, weight and height, so the right vehicle is planned the first time.
- Have the goods ready and wrapped when the driver arrives, so handling stays within the included time.
- Combine pallets for the same address into one trip.
- If the delivery is not urgent, a shared network is the cheaper choice.
When to choose which
Choose a shared network for non-urgent goods to a business address with a loading dock. Choose a dedicated van when the delivery has a deadline, when there is no forklift at one end, when goods are fragile or valuable, or when you want one company responsible from collection to handover.
