Thus enabling you to provide a better service to the end consumer.
We provide a range of services which we offer to you and include:
Airfreight Import
Through our worldwide network of agents we can control import air freight
shipments right from the manufacturer’s premises. Often our clients simply give
us their purchase order number and the supplier contact details and leave the
rest up to us to ensure the consignment is transported correctly. We communicate
directly with the shippers at origin and check with the shipments are going to
be ready and co-ordinate the collection, documentation, customs, booking on to
airline and tracking it up to the arrival in to the United Kingdom. Although we
are based at Heathrow most of our customers are based around the country and we
arrange the clearance and delivery with being able to save time and at much the
same price as if the shipment had arrived in to their local airport.
Sea Freight Import
We have our sea freight import personal based at our Heathrow office instead
of down by the docks. This functionality allows us to provide a more consistent
service level to our customer. Most of our customers have a mixture of
airfreight imports and sea freight imports and to have both done at one site
give us the ability to adhere to our customer’s specific requirements and they
do can have standing instructions on how to handle the import with out having to
worry about the mode of transport. It also gives continuity to the client as
they get to deal with the same people time and time again.
Airfreight Export
Strategically based near London Heathrow we have quick and easy access to
the cargo section. We can collect freight from customer’s premises anywhere in
the UK and as we export the shipment out of London Heathrow this offers the best
service at the most competitive price.
We operate our own warehouse and we are able to handle a single piece or freight
with a maximum weight of 12000 kgs. The warehouse is DEPS (Designated Export
Place Shed) which enables us to process export entries and get the “OK to
proceed” back from customs prior to hand the cargo in to the airlines. Thus
processing licenses, ATA Carnet and shipments with permits can all be done under
our own supervision, as opposed to the airlines.
Sea Freight Export
We book and control FCL (Full Container Load), LCL (Less Container Load) AKA
groupage, and Conventional Cargo. We achieve preferential rates with the
shipping lines and NVOCC (Non Vessel Owned Common Carriers) and pass these
benefits on to our customers.
Customs Clearance
We manage the complex nature of processing customs entry and act as an
interface for the customer to HM Revenue and Customs. We have direct electronic
links in to the clearing system at all major airports and sea ports.
The use of our deferment account is a quick and simply way of paying your VAT
and Duties to HM Revenue and Customs at time of cargo arrival, thus not delaying
your shipment.
We operate our own ERTS (Enhanced Remote Transit Shed) so we can extract import
consignments which have not customs cleared from the airline and provide short
term storage. Clearance can then be done at a later stage without incurring the
high import storage charges from the airlines.
Unaccompanied Baggage
Travelling with your excess baggage has become a very expensive and
difficult process now with most airlines not giving too much leeway on their
allocated ticket weight. We take the stress and aggravation out of your journey
and send your excess baggage as unaccompanied baggage by airfreight. We provide
a full “door to door” service and so will collect from your residence here in
the UK and delivery it to your residence at your destination. For those who want
to save some money then the “airport to airport” option is available. Call us
from London Heathrow and we will send a driver immediately to come and collect
your excess luggage. Trust a good but inexpensive excess baggage company to
provide you with hassle free travel.
