London Freight Forwarding: Your Top Questions
How do freight forwarding companies in London handle last-mile delivery for international sea imports?
London freight forwarders coordinate multimodal legs. They manage sea arrival, customs clearance, inland haulage or rail and last-mile delivery using contracted hauliers or managed fleets. As a customer expect to receive a single invoice and tracking from the forwarder for the entire journey.
What are the advantages of using a London freight forwarder for air-sea consolidation from Asia to the UK?
London forwarders can combine air and sea legs to balance cost and lead time. At Origin Logistics we offer UK customs expertise, provide bonded warehousing near London Gateway or Heathrow and consolidate cargo for lower per-unit rates and simpler customs processing.
How do I choose a reliable freight forwarding company in London for hazardous or temperature-controlled goods?
When shipping hazardous or temperature-controlled cargo, it’s essential to work with an experienced provider like Origin Logistics. We specialise in dangerous goods compliance and temperature-controlled logistics, offering full insurance coverage and 24/7 reefer monitoring.
We’re certified to manage a wide range of controlled commodities and can provide proven references from clients across pharmaceuticals, chemicals and food sectors, ensuring your goods stay compliant, secure and perfectly conditioned throughout their journey.
Can a London freight forwarder act as Importer of Record (IOR) or Exporter of Record (EOR)?
Many London freight forwarders provide IOR/EOR services to simplify VAT, duty and compliance for overseas customers or sellers, enabling import/export without the consignee having a UK EORI or local entity.
What transit times should I expect for palletised LCL from London Gateway to central London delivery?
For palletised LCL arriving via London Gateway, last-mile delivery to central London is typically 1-3 working days after customs clearance. This is subject to appointment availability, congestion and any additional handling or consolidation steps.
