When buying feed and bedding for horses or other domestic animals, the packaging sizes and product quantities are always larger. When ordering such products, Biohansa offers a transport service, which allows the products to be delivered as cargo to the customer's desired location, for example directly to the stable yard. From there, they can be moved to use or stored.
With the revamped logistics, Biohansa's transportation costs can be up to -50% lower depending on location. The transportation cost calculator on our website shows delivery costs based on the postal code even before you start ordering.
Here are examples of transportation costs if the order is 1000 kg of straw pellets:
📍 02400 Kirkkonummi = approx. 57 eur
📍 32600 Kangasala = approx. 148 eur
📍 70100 Kuopio = approx. 190 eur
You can also save money when you order multiple pallets of the product at once. Special prices are displayed on the product pages according to pallet quantities. Sometimes you may need additional help with budget planning. That's why we have also added Walley installment payment to Biohansa's payment options for you. You can read more about this here.
Effective logistics can significantly contribute to sustainable development and environmental friendliness, even when deliveries are made from a warehouse in Tallinn to customers in Finland. In addition, orders delivered to the customer's doorstep have a positive impact on customer satisfaction in several ways.
Well-planned logistics
When deliveries to customers come from the Tallinn warehouse to Finland, environmental impacts can be influenced, for example, by optimizing and combining transport. In general, centralized transport of large batches of goods by ship and truck reduces emissions compared to individual small deliveries from different warehouses.
Optimizing routes and maximizing cargo fill rates reduces unnecessary driving and empty vehicles. Cross-sea ferry transport is a more energy-efficient alternative to air freight.
In Finland, distribution can be carried out using low-emission transport solutions, such as electric or biogas trucks.
Ecological and recyclable packaging and the avoidance of unnecessary packaging material reduce the amount of waste. Compact packaging allows for more efficient use of space in transport. For example, bedding often does not need to be specially packaged, as the packages remain on the pallet with the support material wrapped around them.
Determining transportation costs
Transportation costs are determined by several factors. The costs are affected by, among other things, the quantity and weight of the order. The larger the order, the more the transportation cost can increase, but on the other hand, the unit price is cheaper in larger batches. This is the case, for example, with dry pallets. In addition, longer transportation routes increase the price.
Biohansa also offers the option of picking up the products yourself from the Tallinn warehouse. This of course requires more travel arrangements, ferry fees, possible accommodation costs and time. Although the idea is to save on transportation, picking up with your own car or rented van can be more expensive when you consider fuel, ferry costs and other fees.
Transporting large products requires suitable equipment and loading capacity. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you take advantage of the transportation option offered. This way, professional drivers will handle the delivery for you.
Customer satisfaction as one metric
Once the cargo has arrived in Finland, one of Biohansa's most important services is fast and reliable delivery to your doorstep. Delivery to your doorstep can improve the customer experience in many ways.
The first reason is convenience and ease . The customer saves time and effort by not having to pick up the order anywhere or own the appropriate equipment for the transport. This is especially important for large or heavy products.
Well-functioning logistics, where the customer is offered clear delivery times and the opportunity to track the shipment in real time, increases satisfaction and trust in the service. In Biohansa's online store, you can see the stock status of the product and the schedule for delivery. After ordering, the customer also receives a tracking code for transportation.
When delivery works seamlessly, the customer's shopping experience is more positive, which in turn increases customer loyalty and new orders.
So, even though the products are stored in Estonia, efficient logistics from the Tallinn warehouse to Finland can support sustainable development. This requires the use of efficient transport routes, environmentally friendly options and sensible packaging solutions. At the same time, home delivery can significantly improve customer satisfaction by offering convenience, speed and personalized options.
