Inspection and clearance• We clear your shipment through the relevant customs departments and any environmental authorities. All charges are as you were originally quoted with no surprises. • Once cleared, your shipment will be moved within our national network to our depot closest to your address. |

Deliver full boxes to your address• You can arrange the delivery online or we will contact you directly. Once again the scheduled time of delivery will be sent to you the night before. • Delivery by our drivers in our vans to your address.
