Our experienced team devised a thorough solution for the transportation of the goods, ensuring a seamless process from doorstep to destination.

The Challenge

Navigating worldwide logistics with efficiency and expertise
We were tasked with delivering 60 pallets and 2 boxes to Bangkok, Thailand by a regular customer of ours. 17 of those pallets, along with the 2 boxes were needing to be delivered as soon as possible. The delivery timeframe for the remaining 43 pallets wasn’t quite so tight. The customer trusted our reliable logistic services and dedicated workmanship to transport their goods from the UK across the world.

Our Strategy

Our experienced team devised a thorough solution for the transportation of the goods, ensuring a seamless process from doorstep to destination. It was crucial to have efficiency and organisation at the forefront of the job.

Given the urgency of 1/3 of the goods, the only option here was to send them via air freight. The remaining 2/3 of the goods were to go via sea freight. We arranged for 2 full shipping containers holding 20 pallets each. The last 3 were then prepared to be sent as a LCL (less than container load).

The punctual delivery of the first 17 pallets was imperative for our client, and we successfully completed the transportation ahead of time and under budget. Customer satisfaction is of utmost importantance here at Freightline.

Our team is dedicated to providing the highest level of service to our clients, understanding the significant expenses and intricate challenges that can arise due to unmet deadlines.

“Freightline is aware of the volatility in
today’s market and works to evaluate

future. We aim to take proactive steps to

Our Impact

The process of delivering goods through sea freight involved a transit period of approximately 6 weeks. Opting for sea transport always introduces a distinct set of challenges, different from those encountered with air freight. The main variable in the equation undoubtedly being the weather. As the goods are transported, the ever-changing and sometimes unpredictable weather conditions play a pivotal role in the journey. The extended duration of sea travel necessitates a thorough consideration of the challenges to ensure safe and timely deliveries, adding an extra layer of complexity to the logistics process.
