How it works

Shipping a small volume, step by step.

You don’t need to be a logistics expert. Here is what happens between your request and delivery, and what we need from you.

Six steps, one contact

Estimate and quote

You estimate the price online and send your request. We confirm a detailed quote with the lead time and documents needed.

Booking

You accept the quote. We book space in the next container and send you your tracking number.

Pickup

We collect the goods from your supplier or from you, or you drop them at our warehouse.

Export customs and sailing

Packages are checked, consolidated and cleared for export, then loaded on board.

Arrival and import customs

On arrival the container is unpacked and your goods are cleared. We send you the exact duties and taxes.

Delivery

We agree an appointment and deliver to your address. Tracking switches to “delivered”.

Documents to prepare

We check everything before departure. Here is the basic list for each direction.
