"WSUK had us live in 36 hours and absorbed our Q4 peak without a blip. The rate card was exactly what we paid — no surprise charges at month-end."
One movement, one point of contact, one invoice. We arrange collection at origin, the main carriage by air, sea or road, the customs paperwork and the final delivery — into our own warehouse if that helps.
WSUK arranges freight forwarding door to door: collection at origin, main carriage by air, sea or road, customs documentation and clearance coordination, and final delivery — including into our own Golden Triangle warehouse, where goods can be unloaded, QC-checked from £75 per container. FCL and LCL, air consolidations and European groupage all handled, with one point of contact and one invoice. Quote in 2 hours.
Most freight problems happen in the handover between suppliers. The fix is for the handovers to be internal.
The right mode for the cargo and the deadline — air when it has to be there, sea for volume, road for Europe — arranged as one movement rather than three bookings.
Commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and customs entries prepared and checked before the goods move, not after they are held.
Most forwarders hand you cargo at a dock. We can take it straight into our own building, unload it, check it and hold it.
When the freight company and the warehouse are the same company, a delayed vessel is a scheduling conversation rather than a demurrage argument.
From your supplier’s door to your stock being sellable.
Origin, destination, commodity, weights and dimensions, and the date it needs to land. Ten minutes on the phone is usually enough.
We quote the sensible options by mode and price, book the chosen routing, and prepare and check the documentation before anything moves.
Customs cleared, delivered — and if it is coming to us, unloaded, counted, QC-checked and put away ready to pick.
Freight is quoted per movement because the routing, mode and commodity decide the cost. What is fixed is the handling at this end — unloading, checking and storage all run on the published WSUK rate card.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Full and part container loads, port to door.
Deadline-driven air freight and European groupage.
Unload, count against PO and QC before put-away.
Indicative ranges based on standard requirements. Bespoke / hazardous / temperature-controlled goods are quoted separately. Get an exact quote for your volumes →
Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Immingham and Liverpool all feed the M1 / M6 corridor — which is why national distribution stock lands here.
A freight forwarder arranges the movement of goods on your behalf rather than carrying them itself: selecting the mode and routing, booking the capacity, preparing and checking the documentation, coordinating customs, and organising collection and final delivery. The value is not in any single leg — it is in the fact that one company owns all the handovers. Most freight goes wrong at a seam. The commercial invoice does not match the packing list; the commodity code is wrong and the entry is queried; the vessel is two days late and nobody told the haulier; the container arrives at a warehouse with no booking and sits accruing charges. Each supplier is individually blameless and the cargo is still stuck. What makes WSUK unusual is that the last seam does not exist at all: we can deliver into our own Golden Triangle warehouse, unload and count the container against your purchase order, inspect it, and put it away ready to pick — so imported stock goes from vessel to sellable without changing hands or companies again.
From first contact to live operation, our typical onboarding takes less than a week.
Volumes, SKUs, peak season, integrations. One 10-minute call is enough.
Transparent line-item pricing on a single page — no hidden fees, no jargon.
Walk the floor with our ops team. Bring your operations lead, not just procurement.
Stock in, scanning live, integrations active. Daily standups for the first two weeks.
Everything you need to know about freight forwarding at WSUK.
Our air, sea and road freight pages cover the individual modes. Freight forwarding is the coordinating service — choosing the mode, booking it, handling the documentation and customs, and arranging both ends — so you deal with one company for the whole movement rather than one per leg.
We prepare and coordinate the documentation and entries — commercial invoice, packing list, certificates of origin, import and export entries — and work with customs brokers on clearance. The paperwork is checked before the goods move, which is when mistakes are still cheap.
Yes. Door-to-door means exactly that — collection at the supplier’s premises, main carriage, clearance and delivery at this end, arranged as a single movement on a single invoice.
Freight is quoted per movement, because mode, routing, commodity, weight and volume all change the number. Handling at this end is fixed and published: container unloading and QC from £75, palletising from £12.50, storage from £4.50 per pallet per week.
Yes, and it is the main reason clients use us for both. The container is unloaded, counted against your purchase order, inspected, palletised and put away ready to pick — no second company, no second booking, no waiting for a slot elsewhere.
Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Liverpool and Immingham are the usual entry points for our clients, all of which feed the M1 / M6 corridor where our warehouse sits. Air freight typically comes through East Midlands, Birmingham or Heathrow.
Within two hours of having the basics — origin, destination, commodity, weights and dimensions, and the date it needs to land.
Yes — export movements, documentation and export packing including crating and cargo protection for goods that need it.
You get told, and the plan is adjusted. Because we control the warehouse at this end, a delay is a re-scheduling conversation rather than an argument about who booked what and who pays for the wait.
Marine and cargo insurance is arranged on request and quoted per movement. Once goods are in our warehouse they sit under Goods-in-Trust cover in a CCTV-monitored, alarmed building.
