HOW MUCH? HOW FREIGHT COSTS VARY

Freight rates depend on a number of factors: consignment size, weight, destination and delivery times. Obviously, the less time pressure involved, the more beneficial the rates will be. You can be assured of a competitive price thanks to our extensive network and partnerships, and we cost our tariffs according to your individual needs.

HOW FAST? EXPRESS OPTIONS

If you want your goods to arrive quickly, we offer express cargo forwarding services to destinations across the UK and Europe, featuring:

HOW FAST? ECONOMY SERVICES

Economy delivery is ideal for those on a budget or for when time is less of an issue. We offer:

  • Domestic and international groupage services to significantly reduce costs.
  • 48-hour delivery in the UK (except Scottish Highlands and offshore)
  • Five-day turnaround for European destinations.
  • Economy service for palletised freight through our Platinum membership of the Palletways network.
  • Cash-on-delivery services where we take the payment for you for both goods and transit costs (subject to a service charge).
  • Preferential sea freight rates through our network of leading operators.

Why choose IFL?

  • Flexible Shipping Options

    We work flexibly to find the best fit for your needs. If time and cost are a concern, we tailor solutions to deliver the best results. For example, when a UK client needs a palletised freight consignment delivered to Europe but finds standard daily groupage too slow and air freight too expensive, we explore options such as a dedicated vehicle for door-to-door delivery.

  • Cost-Effective Solutions

    In some cases, shipping by air may be the cheaper option, but often a dedicated vehicle is the more efficient choice. Our priority is to offer flexibility and find the best solution to suit your unique shipping requirements.

  • CUSTOMER-FIRST PHILOSOPHY

    We prioritise your needs with a dedicated support team that ensures seamless coordination and problem resolution.
    As one of the UK’s most reliable and trusted independent freight forwarders, we offer.
    • Award-winning customer service.
