Value for money on freight shipments
When we say value for money we don’t mean the cheapest. Like most things in life with a freight forwarder you get what you pay for cheapest isn’t necessarily best. With sea and airfreight shipping there are a lot of elements that make up the final quote. A good freight forwarder will advise you of ALL costs to final destinations no hidden charges.

We are no cowboy freight forwarder
The freight business in the UK remains unregulated, a situation that subjects it to “cowboy” freight forwarders. A decent gauge on how well-established a freight forwarder is, is whether they are a Limited company.
Most freight forwarders are also members of BIFA (British International Freight Association). Joining BIFA involves a requirement for liability cover (not held by many forwarders). We are a Member of the BIFA (British International Freight Association) and operate on their terms and conditions.
Professional Freight Forwarder
There are all manner of things that can impact all methods of shipping such as weather, Government authorities (such as Port Health & HM Customs), human mistake, language and technical issues. A quality freight forwarder will advise a customer of any delays or issues with their shipment. An impossibility is not guaranteeing all transit times but what a quality freight forwarder does differently is advise delays immediately. We can all accept bad news as long as we know what is happening and are presented with a next best alternative. A quality freight forwarder is always going to advise customers at all times including weekends and nights as YFT Logistics operate 24/7 365 days a year. We advise our customers immediately on delays and any custom holds. We immediately make alternative arrangements for our client base with no further delay.
Why You Should Use Us For Your Freight Shipments
In general, small to medium sized freight businesses provide a sound all around service. They have lower overheads as a consequence, and as such have lower profit margins. They are more flexible, as well as not having any big company politics. That is why we are a significant competitor with the big businesses providing you with lower freight shipment rates.
You will be required to apply for an EORI number for goods for resale.
