Organizing logistics
Delivery of building materials
We deliver in the most environmentally and human friendly way possible and make delivery costs transparent.
Buying construction materials a Lehm-Laden is uncomplicated for you. Depending on the quantity and type of products, we have ideally suited logistics.
The delivery costs for the products you buy in the loam shop are displayed in the shopping cart.
Most building materials are supplied directly from our warehouse. Goods are transported directly from the manufacturer where this makes logistical and efficiency sense. With over 1,000 m² of storage space, our warehouse is unique in Germany in terms of its size for purely eco-friendly building materials. We hold a large stock and can supply or arrange for the delivery of many items at short notice.
This is where transport with intelligent logistics comes into play. In the general cargo sector, you can choose between a comfort delivery, where individual pallets are also delivered by truck with a truck-mounted forklift, and an express delivery, where the delivery is made by a classic general cargo forwarder. Larger orders can be delivered with a building material truck, which is equipped with an unloading device as standard. Here we also pay attention to a good capacity utilisation and few empty runs.
We always try to get you the best possible delivery price, but we’re very careful not to drive prices down too much – you know how it is: that always ends up being at the expense of everyone else. And it’s a truism, but it’s true: it’s in the nature of things that transporting heavy building materials is labour-intensive and therefore expensive. Online shops that offer this too cheaply, or even for free, have to subsidise the delivery costs with revenue from other sources.
A few more words about the "external values" of our packages: We design the packaging of our goods to be as sustainable as currently possible, as we are aware of how energy-intensive shipping by parcel service is. The cardboard boxes are made of a special mixed material: They consist of 30% grass fibres and 70% recycled paper. Since grass grows back quickly, the energy required for the fresh fibres can be kept at an extremely low level. The filling material used is made of pure recycled paper, the adhesive tape is made of paper and an adhesive made of potato starch. The only small snag: thin sinusoidal threads made of plastic that run through the adhesive tape to improve stability.
Our logistics solutions at a glance
Convenient delivery of building materials
3 - 10 working days*
For larger delivery quantities, we order a truck with a truck-mounted forklift. Please make sure and ensure that the access road to the construction site can be accessed by large trucks. If this is ensured, this form of delivery usually goes very smoothly. We have been working with this forwarding company for a long time, the drivers are competent and courteous and will deliver the goods to the location of your choice if it is accessible for a forklift.
The driver will be given your phone number and will contact you personally.

Part loads and full loads
3 - 12 working days*
We arrange for part and full loads to be delivered by haulage contractors using large lorries, with or without on-board forklifts, which transport the building materials directly from the manufacturer to your building site. Delivery using a tail-lift and pallet truck is also possible. As we aim to optimise our transport logistics as much as possible, you can expect a lead time of three to seven working days, depending on the destination and our workload.
The driver will be given your phone number and will contact you personally.

DPD/UPS parcel delivery
3 - 12 working days*
Like any other online shop, we dispatch small quantities by parcel. We have made a conscious decision to work with parcel delivery companies that pay their delivery drivers and distribution staff
*as fair wages as possible. As standard, we dispatch up to ten parcels as a single parcel, but in the shop you have the option to have 15 parcels sent via DPD/UPS or ten parcels via a freight forwarder, in order to
ease the burden on your local parcel carrier.
You will receive a tracking number from DPD or UPS in a separate email.

General cargo transport
3 - 8 working days*
Depending on the volume, we have the goods delivered by a freight forwarder. In general cargo, this is possible up to 2.5 t or five pallets. Please be aware that this type of delivery, carried out with a lorry with lifting platform and pallet truck, is a great effort for the driver, as he has to move each piece by hand. In addition, on unpaved ground, moving on the pallet with the lift truck is hardly possible, if at all. It is then always a fine touch to receive the goods personally with a helping hand. Deliveries will be notified by email or telephone

Lehm-Laden Versand
Collection – even after closing time
Collection from the Lehm-Laden, Mon–Fri, 8 am to 5 pm
You can conveniently collect your order outside our opening hours. To facilitate this, the goods will be made available on our loading bay by 17:00 on the last working day before your chosen collection date.
Please note: Collection is at your own risk and will not involve a face-to-face handover.
Delivery times for natural colours – freshly ordered for you
We don’t stock items in our warehouse; instead, we supply fresh mineral paints directly from the manufacturer.
We always order Beeck mineral paints on Mondays, Auro paints on Tuesdays and Kreidezeit paints on Wednesdays. Deliveries usually arrive at our premises on Thursdays or Fridays – and then your parcel is sent straight to you.
Why do we only order once a week?
This way, we avoid unnecessary stockpiling, save resources and transport only what is actually needed.
Sustainable, honest and good – just as you’d expect from Lehm-Laden.
