Retail & distribution transport questions

What is the minimum number of pallets I can send?

There is no minimum — pallet distribution is designed for consignments from a single pallet upwards, priced per pallet rather than by vehicle.

How long does next-day pallet delivery take?

Standard next-day services collected before the daily cut-off are delivered the following working day to most UK postcodes; remote areas may take an extra day.

How long does sea freight take from China to the UK?

Typical port-to-port transit is 30–40 days on standard services and 20–28 days on premium express ocean products, with a further 5–10 days on LCL groupage for deconsolidation.

What is the difference between FCL and LCL?

FCL (Full Container Load) is a full container booked exclusively to you. LCL (Less-than-Container Load) is groupage — your cargo shares a container with other shippers and is charged per cubic metre.
