Metoni Logistics

Many of the goods we purchase as consumers are now imported from outside the UK, particularly from the Far East. We have a range of import services from across the globe to ensure that your freight is delivered in a timely manner but is shipped at the most economical method. Because of this, we can offer competitive pricing on LCL (Less than container load) or FCL (full container load) shipments. In addition, can quote for freight to be moved by train from the Far East.

Our freight forwarding service also includes creation of relevant documents and customs clearance. We also offer road freight imports from within Europe, Turkey and the Middle East.

Export markets are becoming increasing important to the UK economy. The expression ‘It’s a small world’ is never more true since the digital revolution has made it easier to connect with potential customers around the world.

Similar to our import services, we are able to offer both LCL and FCL facilities for export outside of the UK, along with road freight services to Europe and beyond.

If you are looking for a new freight forwarder or simply want to review or benchmark your current operation, get in touch for an informal discussion.

Sending a shipment (smaller than truck load) into Europe? The most cost effective way to do this by far is via our groupage services.  We will group your consignment together with other customers freight for the relevant country. We have regular departures to all European countries. Therefore, we are able to offer competitive prices for groupage consignments to or from Europe.

It may be a one-off requirement or a weekly order to a specific customer, either way we can arrange accordingly with discounts for regular traffic.

If you have an urgent consignment that needs moving or an ongoing requirement for air freighting perishable goods, through our extensive partner network we are able to arrange accordingly. From consol air freight movements to chartered flights, we are able to arrange the correct solution for each clients requirements.

We have a variety of courier services available, including express same day, next day and economy solutions. We understand that one size doesn’t fit all and therefore pride ourselves on tailoring a solution that is cost-effective for your business. 

Unlike some service providers, we are able to offer a 2-man or 3-man home service for those important B2C home deliveries, which goes hand in hand with our ‘irregular item’ distribution for long or wide items that services both B2B and B2C.

Pallets are one of the most common forms of moving freight. As such, we have a range of delivery options including quarter pallet, half pallet and full pallet. We also recognise that not everything fits neatly onto a standard pallet and therefore we are able to offer an ‘oversize’ pallet delivery option.

As you would expect, we also offer timed deliveries as an option and tail lift vehicles available for both collection and delivery, if required.

For those wanting to move several pallets, a piece of machinery or a full articulated load, we are able to supply the right vehicle at the right price.  This can be arranged on either a same day, next day or an economy basis.

Deliveries can be made on either curtainsided or flat trailer.

If you are looking to move an ad-hoc load or wish to discuss your contract distribution or inbound logistics, no problem we can cover it all.

Clearly not everything fits nicely into a box or on a pallet. Our specialist services include a range of vehicles, including hiab, moffet and low loaders. If your freight is deemed to be an abnormal load, we are able to arrange accordingly.
