Our experienced staff can cope with and advise on all kinds of documentary credit requirements.

We can pack your goods to your own specification, and often at a fraction of the cost of rival freight forwarding companies or specialist packers. Specialist packing for heavy machinery, valuable or fragile items, can also be undertaken.

By the very nature of our business, Freightair have to move cargo around the country for delivery to Manchester Airport, Gatwick Airport, London Heathrow Airport, and pick up export cargo from all points within the U.K. All Freightair offices can haul your goods either in our own vehicles, or using an extensive trunking and overnight delivery network to suit your own cost requirement, time critical, or routine deliveries. This service is handled by our export department .

By law no dangerous goods can be handled either by the staff of an exporting company or a member of staff of a freight forwarding company who is unqualified to do so. We can act as a broker for training services, and are able to book your staff on training courses at cost.

We recognise that more and more, a buyer will not wish to be involved with the Freight forwarding side of his purchases from the U.K.

We can offer an Express Courier Service, which compares very favorably with other express operators, in terms of both transit time, and cost. For larger weight or volume shipments, we can also offer a more cost effective door to door service using our agency contacts overseas - please contact the export department for more details.

Tracking and tracing for both import and export is a vital part of any modern freight forwarding business. In recent years, this has been enhanced by "The Net" and many airlines have tracking and tracing within the public domain. However, Freightair have extensive tracking and tracing facilities for all airlines and for our Consolidators which cannot be accessed within the public domain, and where often passwords and codes are required. Track and trace for general export freight, import freight, door to door, and courier shipments can be accessed with the following e-mail link: postflights@freightair.co.uk
