Groupage and part load freight options allow your goods to share trailer space with other shipments. Groupage shipments are typically less than 8 pallets whilst part-loads are typically between 9 and 20. Both provide a cost-effective and flexible way to move smaller consignments between the UK and Europe using a fully managed, door-to-door service.
Our groupage and part load services include integrated customs support through our in-house specialists. Our central Dartford hub, the UK’s largest groupage hub, processes deliveries efficiently whilst maintaining daily services to the continent and competitive pricing.
Full load (20 pallets or more) is usually the better option when you have higher volumes, need a dedicated vehicle, or want a more direct service with fewer handling points. It's ideal for time-sensitive or larger shipments moving across Europe.
Yes. Full load services are typically faster and more direct because the vehicle carries only your goods. Groupage services involve consolidation and scheduled movements, which can add additional handling steps.
