Straight answers, no sales talk.
It depends on the mode and the cargo. As a guide: sea LCL is charged per cubic metre, sea FCL per 20GP/40HQ container, and air per chargeable kilo. For DDP door-to-door we quote one all-in figure that already includes freight, UK duty and VAT, clearance and delivery to your postcode — so the number you see is the number you pay. Send your cargo details and postcode for an exact price within 24 hours.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means the seller's forwarder handles everything: export from China, ocean or air freight, UK import clearance, duty and VAT, and final delivery to the consignee's door. The UK buyer receives the goods without opening a customs account, paying duty separately, or dealing with a broker. It is the fastest way for a UK business to start importing.
Air freight is typically 5–8 days door-to-door. Sea FCL from Shenzhen, Ningbo or Shanghai to Felixstowe, Southampton or London Gateway is around 30–38 days port-to-port and 35–45 days door-to-door. LCL groupage runs 32–40 days port-to-port. Rail via Central Asia and Europe is about 22–28 days to a UK door. These are normal ranges — schedules move with carrier rotations and port congestion.
Yes. We clear goods through HMRC's Customs Declaration Service (CDS) with a licensed UK broker, using your EORI number or our importer arrangement under DDP. Under DDP the UK import VAT and duty are already inside the price we quote you. Under DDU/FOB terms you or your importer of record handle them, and we can still file the declaration for you.
Yes, this is one of our most common UK services. We deliver to Amazon fulfilment centres including BHX4 (Coventry), LTN4 (Dunstable), MAN1 (Warrington) and other UK FCs, book the delivery appointment, and prepare carton and pallet labels to Amazon's current requirements. We will also check that your product labels and FNSKU barcodes will pass goods-in.
Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan, Yiwu, Ningbo, Shanghai, Qingdao and Xiamen are routine pickups, with 14 partner stations across China. If your supplier is inland, we arrange domestic trucking to our Shenzhen or Ningbo warehouse and consolidate there.
We can arrange all-risk marine cargo insurance on request — typically a small percentage of the CIF value. Tell us the goods value when you request a quote and we will include it as a separate line so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Send us your cargo details and postcode — we reply with a fixed, all-in price within 24 hours. No obligation, no hidden charges.
