Tell us what is moving. We will price it properly.

Six fields are required. Everything else is optional and genuinely is — a half-filled enquiry still reaches a person, and we would rather ask you one follow-up question than have you give up on a form.

Have ready 01

Where from, where to

City and country is enough to start. Postcodes sharpen it.

Have ready 02

What it is

A plain description. "Machine parts" beats "goods".

Have ready 03

Weight and size

Even rough figures. Both matter, and not equally.

Have ready 04

When

Ready date and the date it has to land.

Have ready 05

Nothing else

If you do not know a field, leave it. We will ask.

Please complete the highlighted fields.

Why the route

Direction matters as much as distance. Every lane is busier one way than the other, and the quiet direction is frequently far cheaper for identical cargo.

Why weight and size

Freight is priced on whichever is greater — actual weight, or a figure derived from the space it takes. A light, bulky load is priced on volume, which surprises people.

Why the description

It decides the commodity code, and therefore the duty. It also flags anything regulated before you ship it rather than at a border.

Why the dates

The deadline chooses the mode. Told early, we can often meet it on a cheaper service; told late, air freight is the only lever left.

Why the incoterm

Those three letters decide who pays for what and where risk passes. Getting it wrong is the most common reason a shipment costs more than expected.

What happens next

A person reads it. Not a rate engine.

Which is slower than an instant online rate, and considerably more likely to be the price you actually pay. Instant quotes are accurate right up until your cargo turns out to be slightly unusual.

Step 01

We read it properly

Including the parts you left blank. If something is missing that changes the price, we ask rather than assume.

Step 02

We price the options

Usually more than one. Where a slower mode meets your date for less, that option comes back alongside the fast one.

Step 03

Itemised, not a single number

Base rate and surcharges shown separately, so you can compare it against another quote line by line rather than headline to headline.

Step 04

How long it takes

A straightforward lane comes back quickly. Project cargo, dangerous goods or an unusual routing takes longer, because it is being priced rather than looked up.
