eCommerce

Ecommerce has become an area for significant growth for us since May 2019. With our onsite ETSF (External Temporary Storage Facility) in Birmingham. This allows us to move containers or trucks from UK ports in most cases without costly demurrage fees caused by port examinations. We then transfer goods to our ETSF for customs clearance onsite. Once cleared the cargo is moved to our general warehouse for final mile delivery. The prime reason for detaining a container or vehicle at a UK port is Port Health matters, which is an unlikely event but we are equipped to resolve. Furthermore, the HMRC and Trading Standards attend our site should an inspection be required.

With our Bulk Import Reduced Data Set (BIRDS) accreditation we make parcel level ecommerce customs declarations simpler. Using our advanced customs software and BIRDS approval system, we can handle low value bulk declarations with a reduced data set compliant with HMRC current guidelines. Once cargo is customs cleared, we can palletise goods to meet FBA booking requirements or despatch as loose parcels through a myriad of parcel carrier solutions. If required clients can have live status updates of their consignments via our website members area where we provide a bespoke WMS. We can tailor our one stop solutions to receive your consignments and deliver as required. We offer from whole consignment, through pallet to parcel level the ability to deliver to FBA’s, stores and B2C solutions
