Less than Container Load (LCL) – Ideal for smaller shipments that don’t fill a full container. Pay only for the space you need, giving your business the flexibility to explore new markets without the commitment of a full container.
Full Container Load (FCL) – Perfect for larger shipments that need their own container. With FCL, your cargo isn’t mixed with other shipments, reducing handling risks and transit times. This option is often more cost-effective
tive for businesses shipping in bulk or with high-frequency orders.

Air Freight
While less common, we also offer air freight services for shipments that need to reach the UK quickly. Our options include express, standard, and consolidated air freight, with competitive rates through our airline partnerships.
Getting your goods through customs can be a hassle, which is why many businesses rely on a freight forwarder like us to handle the paperwork. That said, you’ll still need to provide some key documents to keep things moving smoothly.
These typically include:
- Commercial Invoice
- Packing List
- Certificate of Origin
- Bill of Lading (for sea freight) or an Airway Bill (for air freight)
We may also need permits or licences depending on what you’re shipping. This helps you avoid delays and keeps your freight right on track.
Types of Goods We Help Businesses Transport
We help businesses move a wide range of commercial goods from Australia to the UK, keeping supply chains running at peak efficiency.
Some of the most common exports we ship include:
- Retail & consumer goods, such as textiles, fabrics, and furniture.
- Industrial equipment like machinery, tools, and building materials.
- Electronics & automotive parts such as devices, accessories, and vehicle components.
- Specialised shipments such as cars, boats and other high-value, fragile, or oversized cargo.
Transit Times Between Australia and the UK
How long your shipment takes depends on the transport mode:
- Ocean Freight: Expect around 30–45 days, depending on the ports and customs processing. LCL shipments can take a bit longer since they need extra handling.
- Air Freight: Standard air freight takes 5–10 days, while express options can get your goods to the UK in just 2–3 days.
Ocean freight is the best value for bulk shipping, while air freight is ideal for urgent deliveries. We do everything we can to keep things moving smoothly and avoid delays.
