Prepare your enquiry
A clear enquiry helps us assess the journey from collection to the agreed handover. Use this checklist for originals or eligible compact items; we will confirm the route and acceptance before booking.

Give a plain description, document or item count, packed weight and dimensions. For parts or samples, identify any batteries, liquids, materials or special handling that need assessment. Tell us whether insurance needs to be quoted.
Provide the collection address, postcode, contact and the earliest time the complete consignment will be ready. Tell us if a signature, release approval or item preparation is still outstanding.
Provide the delivery address, receiving hours and latest acceptable handover time. State whether the deadline is in UK time or destination local time. The destination finder displays both to help avoid ambiguity.
Name the authorised recipient and provide a reachable contact number. Include building, office, reception, exhibition stand or maintenance-site instructions needed for the final handover.
Tell us what accompanies the shipment and any release, receiving or handling instructions. We will assess the information needed for the proposed journey; a guide estimate does not establish airline, border or shipment acceptance.
Check the quoted scope, total price, collection and handover plan, update arrangements and delivery confirmation. Sending an enquiry or opening WhatsApp does not book transport or take payment.
Choose the service that matches the task: custody of original documents, signed contract packs, tender submissions, or small engineering parts. For a route guide, open London to Paris or London to Osaka, then enter the actual readiness and receiving times.
