Suitably packed books, periodicals and confirmed physical library media are accepted for the agreed transport section. Lending, allocation and preparation remain with your institution.
Collection round
Collect shipments from several sites and take them to their designated destinations.
Distribution route
Collect prepared containers centrally and distribute them in the agreed order.
Return media
Transport return shipments according to the destination allocation supplied by the client.
Collect empty containers
Take agreed empty containers back to the designated point.
Additional direct journey
Move a prepared shipment outside the normal round after checking the route and availability.
For your organisation
Transport between libraries, branches and central receiving points
You define recipient allocation, transport authorisation and receiving points. We provide the confirmed transport section. This does not automatically establish membership of an existing network.
City and municipal libraries
Exchange prepared media between the main site and branches.
Municipal library networks
Move authorised shipments between participating locations.
University libraries
Arrange confirmed media journeys between library and collection sites.
Operators and central services
Coordinate several institutions’ transport needs. Other requirements belong to public-sector transport.

Working methods and handover
A clearly defined transport process for your media
The library manages lending, allocation and preparation. Schneller Kurier provides the confirmed transport and agreed container handover.
Use designated destinations
Shipments follow the agreed site allocation. Changes are clarified before continuing.
Understand container handover
Receiving five sealed containers does not verify every item inside. A handover record is available.
Keep administration with the library
No borrowing-system entries, shelf-code sorting, shelving or invented library-system interface.
Agree returns and extra quantities
Empty containers, returns and additional stops are included only within the agreed scope.
Vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes maximum authorised mass: actual payload and load space are checked for your shipment. This is not a 3.5-tonne payload promise. No complete library or archive moves, restoration, digitisation, destruction or our own storage. Historic manuscripts, valuable collections and damaged or contaminated materials are not ordinary media shipments.
Recurring requirements
Regular library routes with agreed returns
Typical and maximum quantities, container types, windows and changes are agreed before starting. For other goods, see regular courier and site routes.
Fixed weekdays
Recurring connections between agreed sites.
Collection and distribution
Several stops with an agreed order and shipment allocation.
Central receiving point
Collect or hand over prepared shipments together.
Container circulation and extra journeys
Return full and empty units by agreement; assess journeys outside the round separately.
Local planning
Library and media transport in Frankfurt and Rhine-Main
From our Frankfurt business location, we assess your actual connection. Library addresses inform route planning; they are not our branches or customer references.
Distinguish the address from courier reception
Frankfurt Central Library lists Hasengasse 4 as its address. A public lending or returns point is not automatically an agreed goods receiving point. Specify the authorised entrance and contact.
Align city-centre access with receiving hours
Routes through Frankfurt pedestrian areas or restricted roads need an access check. Match the actual loading points to receiving windows; existing routes or access rights are not assumed.

Process and planning
From prepared media shipment to agreed handover
- 01
Describe sites and shipments
Provide collection points, destinations, container count, actual weight, receiving windows and any returns.
- 02
Agree the route and preparation
Confirm frequency, suitable capacity, container provision, destination labels and the agreed quote. Your institution prepares the authorised shipments.
- 03
Collect and deliver
Record agreed container details at collection, follow the confirmed route and include commissioned returns. Clarify unclear labels or closed receiving points.
- 04
Complete the handover
Use the authorised receiving point and document the agreed handover. Container records do not replace library lending records or an individual media check.
Illustrative workflow: a central point prepares containers for three branches. Agreed return shipments and empty containers are collected during delivery. This is a planning example, not a customer reference.
Costs and quote conditions
What affects the price of library transport?
Distance, frequency, sites, container count, weight, time windows, carrying routes, waiting and returns determine the quote. Individual journeys and recurring routes use their own requirements. Fees libraries charge readers are not Schneller Kurier transport prices.
An enquiry or calculation is not an order confirmation. Availability, scope and special requirements are checked beforehand.
Request library transportAdditional journeys
Enquire separately about administrative files or furniture
Separate administrative shipments belong to document and file transport. For individual shelves or tables, use office furniture and inventory transport. This does not imply a complete library move.
Good to know
Questions about library & media transport
Which books and media are suitable?
Suitably packed books, periodicals and confirmed physical library media. Other loan items or devices are assessed separately.
Who supplies containers and packaging?
This is agreed before starting. Our own container stock or an unlimited exchange pool is not assumed.
How should containers be labelled?
Use a clear destination-site code and agreed receiving details, without unnecessary user data.
Can returns and empty containers be collected?
Yes, when quantity, condition, collection point and return destination are agreed.
What happens with unclear details or a closed site?
We report the exception and clarify next steps with the agreed contact. No unapproved drop-off.
What confirmation is available?
A handover record is available. Agreed container data records actual handover, not an automatic check of individual contents.
Do you sort media or update the lending system?
These library administration tasks are outside the described transport offering.
Can prepared interlibrary-loan shipments be moved?
Suitable shipments authorised by the client can travel on the agreed route. This does not mean network membership or operating the interlibrary-loan system.
