We arrange delivery to the appropriate UK airport aligned to airline cut-offs and uplift planning.

Receiving Depots FAQ
Common questions about delivering freight to our UK receiving depots and how onward airport movement is managed.
Can I deliver freight to the nearest depot instead of the airport?
Yes. Customers can deliver cargo to the nearest receiving depot, where it is checked, consolidated and forwarded to the appropriate airport of departure.
Do you also offer direct collection instead of depot delivery?
Yes. If preferred, we can arrange collection directly from your premises and move the cargo to the airport as part of the air freight plan.
How do you decide which airport the shipment goes through?
The airport of departure is determined by the airline routing, shipment requirements, cargo type and available uplift. We align the depot handover with the most suitable airport plan.
What information should I provide before delivering to a depot?
We recommend confirming shipment reference, number of pieces, dimensions, weight, commodity description and any customs or dangerous goods requirements before delivery.
Can dangerous goods be delivered to a receiving depot?
Potentially, yes, but this depends on the classification, packing compliance and the agreed shipment plan. Dangerous goods should always be confirmed with our team before delivery.
