Consistently excellent for air parcels to the UK. We ship regularly to our London warehouse and this channel has been reliable across every single booking. HMRC customs is handled smoothly, delivery is punctual, and the DDP terms mean our receiving team never has to deal with any border formalities. The rate is competitive for the service level. Nothing to improve.

Good experience shipping general goods to Manchester. The parcel was collected, exported, and delivered within the quoted window with no drama. The declared value process was handled properly and there were no duty demands on arrival. One small gripe: we didn't receive a booking confirmation email for about three hours after payment, which was slightly nerve-wracking. Everything turned out fine though.

Smooth DDP air shipment to Birmingham. This was a time-sensitive order and the team prioritised the booking accordingly. Customs was pre-filed and cleared without delays. Our client commented that the parcel arrived in better condition than goods from their previous supplier. We'll be moving more of our UK volume to this channel.
