The costs incurred are to be regarded as additional.

Please note that the waiting time given by us can only be approximate, as there are many factors that influence it, such as the complexity of the transport or even the availability of staff in the authorities (often holiday periods and public holidays have an influence on the waiting time).
A load is indivisible if its dismantling is impossible for technical reasons or would cause unreasonable costs.
