Transit spread

The average is only half the answer

Italy and Germany both average around six days. One of them varies by a fortnight, the other does not. If you are planning a delivery date, the spread matters more than the midpoint — so here is both.

Fastest to slowest recordedAverage, in daysShipments the figure rests onFastest value not reportedSlowest case beyond the scale

On Poland → Türkiye the lowest recorded value is not plausible as a transit time — a shipment booked out on the day it was collected. Rather than publish a figure we cannot stand behind, we leave the fast end of that bar open. The average and the slowest value are unaffected.

How to read these lanes

Volume tells you how much a figure is worth. Italy → Türkiye rests on8,511 shipments; Switzerland → Türkiye rests on20. Both numbers are real, but only one of them is a stable average. We print the shipment count next to every lane so you can weigh it yourself.

Distance is not what governs the time. Greece runs at3.9 days and Türkiye at 12.2, and the gap is not explained by kilometres. What sets the pace is where the consignment is collected, how quickly the trailer fills, and how long the customs file takes. That last one is also where the extreme cases come from.

The slowest case is not the risk you plan for. An 81-day record on the Italy lane is one consignment out of 8,511, almost certainly held at customs. It belongs on this page because hiding it would make the average look more reliable than it is — but it is not what a normal shipment looks like. For planning, use the average and the bulk of the spread.

means the fastest recorded value on that lane is not plausible as a transit time (a shipment booked out on the day it was collected). We leave it out rather than publish a figure we cannot stand behind. The average and the slowest value are unaffected.

Frequently asked questions

How many corridors do you actually run?

14 country corridors appear in our records, carrying 9,990 shipments. Italy alone accounts for 85.2% of them. The smaller lanes are real but low-volume — we show the shipment count next to every one of them so you can judge how much weight a figure carries.

Which is your fastest corridor?

Greece to Türkiye, at 3.9 days on average across 50 recorded shipments. Distance is not the whole story: Switzerland to Türkiye is not the fastest, but it is the most consistent — every recorded shipment landed between 4 and 7 days.

Why do you publish the slowest case as well?

Because an average on its own is not plannable. Two lanes can both average around six days while one of them varies by a fortnight. The slowest recorded case is almost never a driving problem — it is a consignment held at customs or a document set completed late. Showing it is the honest way to describe what can happen.

Where do these numbers come from?

From our own operating system, not from an estimate. Every shipment file carries status records — 41,308 of them across 10,224 files — and the transit times on this page are calculated from those records. Data as at 4 July 2026.

Which corridor is yours?

Send us the collection address, the goods and their weight and dimensions. We will confirm the terminal and what the transit looks like on that route.
