Same-day collections, 24/7 dispatch, and bespoke handling for sensitive cargo—we've got London's international logistics covered.
International Shipping from London: Speed Meets Reliability
London handles over 40% of the UK's international freight traffic, and when you're competing in that environment, slow logistics kill deals. T&C Logistics operates across all 32 London boroughs—from Westminster and the City to Bromley, Hounslow, and Havering—with same-day collection windows of just 30–60 minutes. Our fleet includes vehicles purpose-built for international compliance: temperature-controlled units for pharma and food exports, secure palletised transport for high-value goods, and ULEZ-compliant vehicles that move seamlessly through London's emission zones.
We've shipped over 12,000 international parcels in the past 12 months alone, handling everything from single boxes to full pallet consignments. Each shipment gets a dedicated reference, GPS tracking from collection to handover, and real-time SMS updates. If your goods are leaving London for Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, or beyond, we handle the paperwork, customs prep, and delivery confirmation—so you don't have to.
What We Ship Internationally from London
International shipping isn't one-size-fits-all, and London's businesses have wildly different needs.
- Pharmaceutical & temperature-controlled: Climate-locked pallets and parcels for medical exports, vaccines, and perishables—critical for London's biotech and life-sciences clusters around King's Cross and Stratford.
- High-value electronics & parts: Secure, insured transit for manufacturing components, IT equipment, and AOG (aircraft on ground) parts headed to EU maintenance hubs.
- Furniture & bulky goods: White-glove handling for retail exports and B2B shipments moving via London's major distribution centres (Dagenham, Feltham, Slough).
- Documents & small parcels: Express overnight delivery to EU cities for contracts, samples, and urgent paperwork.
- Palletised freight: Full-load and part-load consolidation to maximise EU carrier efficiency and reduce your shipping cost per kilo.
"London's position as a global financial and logistics centre means businesses here have zero tolerance for delays. We've built our EU network specifically to match London's speed expectations—same-day collection, next-day EU delivery, and transparent tracking at every step." — Taras, Founder, T&C Logistics
