Businesses that need to transport freight from China to the UK have experienced some turbulence in recent months. This has come in the form of three challenges: Brexit, COVID-19, and the pandemic.

Widespread disruption has ensued in terms of container shortages, rising air freight costs, and fully-booked rail services. International logistics is, in short, facing one of its biggest challenges in decades.

Fortunately, we have a viable solution for businesses that need to transport goods by road and in large volumes.

How can we help you transport oversees freight from China cost-effectively and without unacceptable waits?

Read on to find out how…

China To Europe Road Freight Initiative

Reviving the historic silk road that connects China, Europe, and the Middle East has long been an ambition for the Chinese government – an aim it consolidated in the form of the Belt and Road initiative.

This idea resulted in China to Europe Road freight service in 2018. Recognising how this could optimise transporting freight from China back to the United Kingdom, we put in place a plan to transport goods by road using these routes.

Waiting 56 Days To Transport Freight Isn’t Okay

Your time-critical shipments need to be delivered urgently to clients who can’t afford to wait. That’s why our door-to-door transportation service – which operates between China and the EU – takes just 14-18 days.

Transport freight from China to the UK using container ships and expect a time-estimate of between 35-56 days. That’s presuming demand for sea freight hasn’t resulted in a container shortage.

Airfreight offers a viable alternative, but door-to-door delivery could still take 16 days and your costs will be up to 600% higher.

Our door-to-door road freight service is designed to get your goods delivered on time but without paying extortionate costs.
