So - does your text say what kind of places their Luftfracht delivers to?

"anywhere you want" could mean e.g. "on top of your roof"; "to any place in the world" is not what a native'd say

to all overseas destinations
Explanation:
"Luftfracht" implies overseas, as distinct from closer destinations served by their road haulage unit. I think the German can be improved on, here.

I don't think it's right to exclude Germany - if you were transporting low-bulk, high-value goods from the very north of Germany to the very south, I'm pretty sure you'd do so by air // Mostly, yes, but not exclusively

DHL from Vienna to Munich is "Luftfracht" - therefore I consider "overseas" an inappropriate expression.

Why did the menu change?
The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
More information on the changes...
Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu?
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
I cannot find something
If you are having trouble finding something with the new menu, please
