Courier to Great Britain
±560 km (London, indicative), driving time ±7 hours incl. crossing (indicative). We collect your shipment urgently wherever it is and deliver it in Great Britain. Fixed price upfront and lowest price guarantee: if you have a quote from someone else, we check whether we can go 10% below it.
Dedicated run to Great Britain
London is around 560 kilometres away, including the crossing via the Eurotunnel or the ferry from Calais or Hook of Holland. Count on about 7 hours from door to door. The driver drives the whole route personally: your shipment is loaded once and goes straight through to the destination, at a fixed price agreed in advance.
Since Brexit, the United Kingdom is no longer an EU member. Every shipment across the Channel therefore requires customs clearance: an export declaration on our side, an import declaration on the British side. We coordinate this with you per run, so the paperwork is in order before the driver leaves. We drive to the whole of the United Kingdom: England with London and the Midlands, but also Manchester, Birmingham, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Per run a maximum of 500 kg or 2 euro pallets, insured from door to door.

Frequently asked questions
Here you will find answers to the questions customers ask us most often.
How quickly can a courier leave for Great Britain?
With express we collect within 1 hour, with a guarantee and surcharge. For a normal request we try to collect the same day, without a guarantee. Bear in mind that the customs documents have to be ready before the driver books the crossing. We are available 24/7.
Is customs needed for a shipment to Great Britain?
Yes. Since Brexit the United Kingdom is no longer an EU member, so an export and import declaration are required. We coordinate this with you per shipment. We give no guarantee on the processing time at the border: that is up to customs.
How does the crossing to England work?
Via the Eurotunnel from Calais or by ferry, depending on the destination and availability. We include the crossing in the fixed price you receive in advance, so there are no surprises afterwards.

Indicatively from €700 for a single trip to London, based on €1.25 per kilometre. We coordinate the cost of the crossing per run and include it in the fixed price in advance. Paying in advance gives a 10% discount, otherwise we work with 8 days net.
