    Our business equipment shipping service exists for goods under our business equipment shipping service: goods that need proper packing and export preparation before they travel, not a bare label and a conveyor belt.

    This page is written for operations, facilities and IT teams moving working assets between sites. Equipment arrives ready to switch on: packed against shock and static, labelled against an asset list, and delivered to a booked slot.

    Every quotation lists the packing materials, the shipping method and the transit band before you commit, so there is nothing to discover afterwards.

    How the process works

    1. 1

      Send us the details

      Message us the collection postcode, the delivery address, and what is travelling — dimensions, weight, rough value and photographs if you have them.

    2. 2

      We quote in writing

      One figure covering collection, packing materials, labour and transport. The variables are stated, so you can see exactly what is driving the price.

    3. 3

      We pack on site

      We arrive with cartons, foam, blankets, boards and strapping and pack goods leaving the UK at your address. Nothing is left for you to finish.

    4. 4

      Documentation is prepared

      An itemised packing list with values and dimensions travels with the load, alongside the export documentation.

    5. 5

      Shipping is arranged and managed

      We select the appropriate parcel, pallet or freight service for the consignment and manage it through to delivery.

    6. 6

      Delivered and evidenced

      Handed over against a signature, placed into the room where access allows, and photographed on delivery.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can you collect outside office hours?

    Yes. Evening and weekend collections are common for equipment moves because they avoid downtime. Give us the building's access rules and we will work to them.

    Do you provide an asset list?

    We record what we load, piece by piece, and share it with you. If you already hold an asset register we will pack and label against yours instead of creating a second one.

    How much does it cost?

    Guide prices for this service start at Instant Quote. Crated, high-value, oversized or time-critical consignments priced on the specifics. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements — message us with the details and we will send a firm number.

    How quickly can you collect?

    Collection is usually arranged within 60–90 minutes for urgent same-day work in mainland Great Britain during working hours, and on a booked date for planned European shipments. Tell us your deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
