International shipping doesn't have to be complicated. T&C Logistics handles cross-border deliveries across the UK and into the EU with the same reliability you'd expect from a domestic courier. Whether you're shipping small parcels from London, bulk pallets from Manchester, or time-sensitive goods from Glasgow, we manage customs documentation, route optimisation, and real-time tracking—so you can focus on growing your business.

What Is International Shipping?

International shipping is the movement of goods across borders—typically from the UK into EU destinations, though we can arrange further afield routes via partner networks. Unlike domestic same-day delivery, international shipments involve compliance checks, customs paperwork, and coordinated handover with overseas carriers. T&C Logistics simplifies this process by managing all documentation in-house, communicating with customs brokers, and tracking your goods from collection point to final delivery address. We handle everything from e-commerce returns to B2B freight, ensuring your shipment arrives on schedule and in perfect condition.

How International Shipping Works With T&C Logistics

Our international shipping process begins with a 30–60 minute collection from your location across the UK. We accept shipments from businesses in over 30 UK cities, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, and surrounding areas. Once collected, your goods are transported to one of our consolidation hubs—typically located near major cities or UK airports like Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, and Manchester. From there, we arrange export documentation, arrange space on scheduled air or road freight services, and hand your shipment to verified EU partners. You receive a tracking reference and real-time updates via SMS and email, allowing you to notify your customer or colleague of the precise arrival window. Most EU destinations receive delivery within 2–3 business days from collection.

Our fleet consists of ULEZ-compliant vehicles, meaning we can access central London, Manchester city centre, and other restricted zones without penalty—saving you time and cost. We operate 24/7 dispatch, so late afternoon collections can still reach consolidation by evening, accelerating your overall transit time.

"International shipping is where reliability matters most. A delay in customs or a missing document can cost your customer goodwill or your business a contract. That's why we handle every detail in-house and communicate proactively. We've shipped thousands of items into France, Germany, Netherlands, and beyond—and we track every one as if it's our own business." — Taras, Founder, T&C Logistics

When You Need International Shipping

International shipping is essential for e-commerce businesses that serve EU customers, manufacturing firms sending components across borders, pharmaceutical companies requiring temperature-controlled transit, and businesses managing returns or warranty replacements abroad. If you're exporting samples, artwork, machinery parts, or completed goods, and you need reliability plus compliance, international shipping through T&C Logistics removes the stress. We're also ideal for businesses that have a UK operation but occasionally need to service European clients without setting up a dedicated logistics partner overseas.

Timing matters: if your customer in Berlin expects a delivery by Friday, we can pick up from your London warehouse on Wednesday morning and guarantee handover to our EU partner by Wednesday evening, giving you a two-day buffer before the deadline.

Industries We Serve

Our international shipping expertise spans multiple sectors. E-commerce brands use us to fulfil EU orders from UK warehouses; pharmaceutical and medical device companies rely on our temperature-controlled vehicles and customs knowledge for compliant cross-border shipments; manufacturing and engineering firms send components and finished goods to EU assembly plants; fashion and luxury retailers transport high-value items with full GPS tracking and insurance options; and creative industries—including art dealers, galleries, and studios—use us for secure movement of artwork and collectibles. Each sector has unique compliance needs, and our team is trained to understand them.

UK Coverage & EU Destinations

We collect from every major UK city: London (M25 corridor, central London, all boroughs), the Midlands (Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton via the M5 and M6), the North (Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Liverpool via the M1 and M62), Scotland (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen via the A1(M) and A9), Wales (Cardiff, Swansea), and the South West (Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth). We also collect from all 14 major UK airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, and East Midlands—making us ideal for businesses importing goods and needing quick onward movement. Our EU network includes next-day delivery to France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain, with extended service to Italy, Poland, and beyond. For non-standard routes, we provide quotes via our partner network.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documents do I need for international shipping from the UK?
You'll need a commercial invoice (or pro-forma invoice for samples), a packing list detailing contents and quantities, and the recipient's full address with postcode. For some goods (electronics, hazardous materials, pharmaceuticals), additional export licences or safety documentation may be required—our team will advise you at quote stage and handle any missing paperwork before dispatch.
How long does international shipping to the EU take?
Typical transit time from UK collection to EU delivery is 2–3 business days. If you book before 14:00, we collect the same day, hand to our EU partner by evening, and your goods arrive within 48 hours of reaching the consolidation centre. Some routes (e.g., Ireland, Netherlands) may be faster; others (e.g., southern Spain, Poland) may take an extra day depending on final delivery location.
Do you offer insurance for international shipments?
Yes. All international shipments include basic transit insurance as standard, covering loss or damage up to a standard limit. For high-value items (artwork, electronics, luxury goods), we recommend declared value insurance, which you can add at quote stage. We'll calculate the premium based on the declared value and your destination.
Can you ship temperature-controlled goods internationally?
Absolutely. We operate a fleet of temperature-controlled vehicles (2–8°C and 15–25°C options) suitable for pharmaceuticals, biologics, food, and sensitive electronics. For EU destinations, we coordinate with certified international carriers and provide full cold-chain documentation. This is ideal for pharmaceutical companies, healthcare suppliers, and specialist food exporters.
What happens if my shipment is delayed at customs?
Customs delays are rare but possible, especially for goods requiring inspection. Our in-house customs knowledge and existing relationships with brokers mean we can often resolve queries quickly. You'll receive immediate notification of any hold, and we'll liaise with customs authorities to expedite clearance. Your tracking reference updates in real time, so you're never left wondering.
