We
are market leaders in complete removals by air freight.
When weighed against the savings on hotel bills for
executives and their families waiting for the arrival
of their possessions, and the minimum of disruption
to their working pattern, relocation by airfreight is
often a very attractive option. Through our network
of airport offices we are able to access the widest
range of services at the most competitive prices.
When
sending your items by air we will usually be able to
supply you with all the details of transit; airway bill
numbers, airline/handling agent, flight details etc,
two-four working days after we receive your shipment.
However, we will not release any information until we
have been paid in full (cleared funds). The local agent
of the airline carrier will generally notify the addressee
of the shipment's arrival at it's destination.
Air
freight shipments take between 7 and 14 days depending
on the destination and the level of service you choose.
We
can offer the following services to most destinations:
-
Air
- Airport Uncleared
With
our Air - Airport Uncleared service, your goods will
be sent in an airfreight consolidation along with other
personal effects shipments. This service greatly reduces
the freight costs, as the space is pre-booked in advance
with the airline. These consolidations generally depart
twice weekly and are consigned to our appointed destination
agents. Once your goods arrive you must arrange to collect
your baggage personally from the destination terminal.
You must clear the baggage through customs and settle
all destination charges, which may include customs duty,
sales taxes, customs clearance, terminal fees, airline
and agent fees, (including AUS/NZ quarantine charges
if applicable).
Air
- Residence
This
is our fully inclusive door to door service, from the
time we pick up your baggage to the time it is delivered
to your destination address, we handle everything. All
clearance and delivery charges are pre-paid in the UK,
only any extraordinary charges incurred (i.e. bonded
storage, customs detention, local customs duty or sales
taxes) will be charged to your account.
Economy
- Airport Uncleared
This
service is ONLY offered at our Airport terminal offices,
it is based on our Air - Airport Uncleared consolidation
service, but provides our customers with an added degree
of flexibility as freight can be deposited with us until
22:00 at all Heathrow terminals, and, additionally,
on a 24 hour basis at our Gatwick South Terminal. Consignments
fully booked and paid for on this service are immediately
allocated onto the next available flight, often providing
a faster time scale than our standard Air - Airport
Uncleared service.
Express
- Airport Uncleared
When
the required time scale out ways the costs, our Express
- Airport Uncleared service may be the one for you.
As with our Air - Airport Uncleared service you must
clear the baggage through customs and settle all destination
charges, which may include customs duty, sales taxes,
customs clearance, terminal fees, airline and agent
fees, (including AUS/NZ quarantine charges if applicable).
The transit time of our express service is usually 3
to 5 days depending on the destination.
If
you intend for someone else to collect your baggage
you MUST provide us with a letter of authority with
the named individual prior to shipment. We have no control
over foreign customs services who might undertake searches
or charge duties/taxes at their discretion. (Please
Note: In some countries you must collect and clear your
goods personally.)
All
baggage sent by air requires a fully completed security
declaration form to comply with the stringent requirements
of UK and International Law. Please complete this carefully:
it is a legal document and the consequences of misdeclaration
under the (UK) 1990 Aviation and Maritime Security Act
(and/or similar legislation in other jurisdictions)
could be severe. We cannot accept the following goods
by for shipment by air, sea, or road: aerosols, batteries,
explosives, corrosives, firearms and ammunition, radioactive
material, perfume, pressurised or unpressurised cylinders
and/or similar type containers, paint, fuel and/or fuel
tanks, or weapons of any description, etc.
Baggage
containing such items may be subject to delay and extra
charges, which will be debited to the sender's account.
Please
note that your baggage may be subject to x-ray and/or
hand search at the complete discretion of our own security
staff and airline or airport security. A twenty four
hour security holding period is mandatory.
