International Shipping from Edinburgh — Tailored for Scottish Businesses
Edinburgh is Scotland's capital and a major hub for professional services, manufacturing, and e-commerce. If you're shipping goods to Europe—whether parcels, pallets, or consolidated freight—reliable international logistics are essential. T&C Logistics operates a fleet of ULEZ-compliant vehicles covering all Edinburgh postcodes (EH1 to EH17) and the surrounding Lothian region, with same-day collections available 6 days a week.
Our international shipping service is built on three core strengths: speed, compliance, and transparency. We collect from your Edinburgh premises within 30–60 minutes of booking, consolidate shipments to reduce your costs, and liaise directly with customs brokers to ensure all EU documentation is correct. Unlike generic couriers, we've handled cross-border shipments from Edinburgh to France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland—so we understand the regulatory nuances that catch businesses off guard.
We process an average of 340+ international shipments per month across the UK, and our Edinburgh operation is no exception. Most of our clients see their goods reach mainland Europe within 2–3 working days of collection.
What We Handle in International Shipping
International shipping from Edinburgh isn't one-size-fits-all. Some shipments are urgent; others are cost-sensitive. Some require temperature control; others need handling documentation for fragile goods. Our service covers:
- Parcel & Small Consignments: Documents, samples, gifts — up to 30 kg, ready for next-working-day EU delivery
- Pallet Shipping: Full or part pallets to EU destinations, with fork-lift access at collection and delivery points
- Consolidation Services: Multiple smaller shipments grouped into one full pallet, reducing your per-item cost by up to 40%
- Customs & Documentation: We complete CN23 forms, commercial invoices, and VAT documentation; we also liaise with pre-arranged customs brokers
- Furniture & Large Items: Sofas, desks, art, and industrial equipment secured and documented for EU delivery
- Temperature-Controlled Options: Pharmaceuticals, perishables, and specialist goods requiring climate-controlled transport
"Edinburgh businesses have huge opportunities selling into Europe, but they often underestimate the logistics complexity. We've invested in EU partnerships and compliance expertise so they don't have to. A single misfiled customs form can delay a shipment a week — that's the difference between a satisfied customer and a refund. We take that seriously." — Taras, Founder, T&C Logistics

Frequently Asked Questions
- How quickly can you collect from my Edinburgh business for international shipping?
- We offer 30–60 minute collections across Edinburgh postcodes (EH1–EH17). For urgent shipments, call our dispatch team directly at 06:00 and we'll often accommodate same-day pickup. Outer areas like Musselburgh or Currie may extend toward 60 minutes during peak hours, but we'll confirm the exact window when you call.
- Do you handle customs documentation for EU shipments from Edinburgh?
- Yes—we complete CN23 forms, commercial invoices, and VAT/customs declarations for all EU shipments. Our team liaises with pre-arranged customs brokers to ensure compliance with UK/EU regulations post-Brexit. Incorrect paperwork is a major cause of delays, so we review every document before dispatch.
- What's the typical delivery time from Edinburgh to Europe?
- Most parcels and small consignments reach mainland Europe (France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium) within 2–3 working days of collection. Pallets and consolidated freight may take 3–5 working days depending on destination and customs processing. We'll provide a specific timeline when you request your quote.
- Can you ship temperature-controlled goods internationally from Edinburgh?
- Yes. We offer climate-controlled transport for pharmaceuticals, perishables, and specialist goods requiring controlled temperatures. These shipments require advance notice so we can allocate our specialised vehicles, but we arrange them regularly for Edinburgh-based healthcare and food export businesses.
- Do you offer consolidation for smaller international shipments from Edinburgh?
- Yes—consolidation is one of our most popular services for Edinburgh SMEs. If you have multiple smaller shipments destined for the same country, we group them onto one pallet, which typically reduces your per-item cost by 30–40%. Consolidation shipments usually depart within 3–5 working days, giving you the cost benefit of full-pallet pricing.
