HOW WE DEAL WITH EXPORTING GOODS TO YOU:

(Please not that the minimum order values stated below do not include any VAT or out of stocks as we consider orders to be placed in good faith and always endeavour to fulfil your orders)
  • Our preferred method is ‘ex-works’ where by your nominated haulage firm collects the goods from us (delivery takes place at our warehouse). To provide this service we ask for a minimum order value of £250.
  • We can also offer a forwarder service within the UK whereby providing the order meets the minimum order value of £600 we will use of an independent haulier of our choice to forward the goods to this designated UK mainland point. Essential responsibility for the goods ends at the point of delivery to this U.K. forwarder. If you do not have a U.K. forwarder we can attempt to put you in contact with one and we can provide advice and contacts for numerous haulage companies that we have come into contact with over the years. We will seek to recommend the most suitable for your destination.
  • We can offer CIF terms (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) whereby we use our own contracted haulage companies to get the goods to you. Cost, insurance and freight is paid for by the consignee by means of recharging you the exact cost (no hidden extras), this will normally be payable before the goods are allowed to leave the warehouse. We can offer free quotations via our haulier contacts for this so that you are not hit with an unexpected invoices and we fill endeavour to find the cheapest deal for you. The minimum order value for this will be £1000. (this is not inclusive of the haulier charge)
