Delivery & Payment
We know how important it is for your business to receive metal on time, in perfect condition, and without unnecessary costs. That is why Aspersteel has established a transparent and flexible delivery and payment system that operates globally. Regardless of order volume or destination country, you receive your metal quickly, safely, and with full control at every stage.
Delivery Geography
The company supplies rolled steel products to over 20 countries in Europe, Asia, and other regions of the world. The majority of shipments are delivered to EU countries (Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria). Thanks to our well-established logistics network, we deliver products to both major industrial centers and remote regions – quickly and with minimal risk of delays or damage.
Delivery Options and Terms
All shipments are carried out strictly in accordance with Incoterms (EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DAP, DDP, and others). The minimum order quantity is 50 kg (depending on the product type). We work exclusively with trusted international carriers and our own partners, which guarantees the safety of the cargo and on-time delivery.
Road Transport
The most popular option for European countries.
Advantages:
- fast delivery (3-7 days within Europe);
- flexible routes – door-to-door delivery is available;
- direct delivery to the customer’s warehouse;
- convenient loading and unloading.
Suitable for those who need fast delivery at an optimal price.
Rail transport
The ideal solution for large shipments over long distances (500 km and more). It allows you to save on the transportation of bulky cargo and ensures high reliability.
Sea freight
A good option for international shipments of large volumes (20 tons or more). We use containers and conventional shipping via ports in Europe and Asia. The most cost-effective method for long-distance destinations.
Air freight
This method is available for urgent orders of small shipments (up to 500 kg). Shipments are made to any destination worldwide. This method is used when delivery speed is more important than the cost.
Self-Pickup
Customers can pick up their order directly from the company’s warehouse. Pickup is arranged in advance with your account manager. We will prepare all necessary documents and assist with loading.
Delivery Times and Costs
Delivery times are calculated on a case-by-case basis. They depend on:
- the destination country;
- the selected mode of transport;
- the volume and weight of the order.
On average, deliveries to Europe by road typically take within 3-10 days. By rail, delivery takes 7-18 days; by sea, 18-35 days; and by air, 1-4 days.
The cost is also calculated individually based on the same criteria. Additional charges may apply for oversized or heavy cargo, urgent shipments, or special packaging. We always offer several options so you can choose the most cost-effective one.
Customs Clearance and Taxes
For all international shipments, we provide a complete set of documents:
- commercial invoice;
- packing list;
- certificates of quality and origin;
- declarations of conformity.
Our specialists assist with customs clearance on both the sender’s and recipient’s sides (when working under DDP terms). You save time and avoid unexpected costs for duties and taxes.
Order Processing, Picking, and Shipping
Order processing takes just 1-3 business days. Once payment and documents are confirmed, we begin preparation immediately. This includes:
- quality control and verification of compliance with specifications;
- picking and cutting to your specifications (if necessary);
- professional packaging;
- preparation of a complete set of accompanying documents;
- arrangement of transportation and handover to the carrier.
Customers receive real-time status updates at every stage.

- metal strapping and fasteners;
