Cargo that needs more than a standard booking
Oversized, hazardous and urgent shipments need planning, permits and paperwork. These are the specialist services customers use most.
Where we ship
Every country has its own guide with transit times, ports, import taxes and customs rules. Start with a region, or pick a popular route.

We are a UK freight forwarder, not a call centre. You deal with people who know your shipment and can make decisions.

Honest advice
If road, sea or a shared service will do the job for less, we will tell you, even when it means a smaller booking.
Industries we support: manufacturing and engineering, energy and renewables, aviation and aerospace, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, retail and eCommerce, and humanitarian aid.

Freight forwarding FAQs
A freight forwarder organises the movement of goods for you. We book space with airlines, shipping lines and hauliers, prepare the customs paperwork, arrange collection and delivery, and act as your single point of contact for the whole journey, even when it involves several carriers and countries.
Yes. We collect from suppliers overseas, ship the goods to the UK, clear UK customs and deliver to your door. VAT-registered importers can usually use postponed VAT accounting, so import VAT goes on the VAT return instead of being paid at the border.
What the goods are, the number of packages with their weights and dimensions, the collection and delivery addresses, when the goods will be ready and your Incoterms if you know them. Tell us if anything is hazardous, oversized or temperature sensitive.
Road freight to most of Europe takes one to seven days. Air freight reaches most long-haul cities in one to four days. Sea freight takes one to two weeks to the Mediterranean and two to seven weeks for long-haul routes, plus time for customs clearance.
Yes. UK businesses need a GB EORI number to move goods into or out of the UK, and an XI number for Northern Ireland. You can apply on GOV.UK and it is usually issued quickly. Your customer or supplier abroad may also need one.
Some goods can be shipped to some sanctioned countries, often with a licence or under a specific exception. The rules depend on the country, the goods and the end user, so please call us before you plan a shipment to a restricted destination.
