02 · Road

One container, or one pallet space.

A 40 tonne combination takes a full box to the port, or thirty three Euro pallets of other people's freight. What fits in each is the first question, so here it is.

03 · Sea

Sea, when the date is not the problem.

04 · Air

Air, when the date is the problem.

Air freight bills on whichever is greater, the weight or the space. A light bulky pallet is charged as though it were heavy, which is the number that surprises people on their first quote.

  • Volumetric divisor6,000 cm³/kg
  • So one cubic metre bills as167 kg
  • Airport to airport1–3 days
  • Cargo cut-off6 h before departure

Booking freight should take four minutes, not four emails.

Today a small exporter sends the same message to three forwarders and waits two days for three different spreadsheets. This replaces that.

STEP 01

Describe the shipment once

Origin, destination, what it is and when it is ready. Parcel, pallet, groupage or a full container, in the same box.

STEP 02

Compare on what matters

Price against transit time against reliability, with the document cut-off shown before you commit, not after you miss it.

STEP 03

We handle the paperwork

Customs entry, certificate of origin, insurance. The part that goes wrong, and the part most comparison sites leave to you.

The cut-off is the thing nobody shows you.

Every ocean booking has a document deadline hours before the vessel sails. Miss it and your container waits a week for the next ship. It is the single most common way a shipment goes wrong, and it never appears on a price comparison.

We put it on the card, next to the price, before you choose.
