Everyday freight

Cartons & Parcels

Small consignments that still matter. Counted piece by piece at both ends, and moving on the same scheduled trucks as everything else we carry.

Why it works

A few cartons is a real job

A handful of boxes is the consignment most likely to get lost in a network built for pallets. Ours are counted against the job at collection and again at delivery.

They travel on the scheduled line-haul, so a small consignment moves on the same overnight run as a full load, and you deal with a person on a named desk rather than a ticket number.

What the desk needs

Cartons are priced on whichever is greater, the weight or the space, so both matter.

How many cartons

The count, and the size of a typical one.

What it weighs

The total weight. A light, bulky consignment pays for its space instead.

The two towns

Collection and delivery, and whether either is a residence or a site rather than a business.

When

When it can be collected, and when it is needed on the other side.

Counted, labelled, findable

  • Counted on and counted off against the same job, with a short or damaged count raised the same day.
  • Labelled on arrival, so a carton separated from its consignment can be put back with it.
  • Track it yourself with the waybill number and the delivery town on our home page.
  • Anything urgent moves on the time-critical service instead.

Cartons arriving in an imported container are a different job, and usually a cheaper one. That is LCL groupage.
