Budget-Friendly Logistics to UK: How to Save?

With the changing customs rules after Brexit, sending cargo to the UK may seem like a costly process. However, with the optimized logistics models we offer as Han Bros Cargo, we offer the cheapest rental truck and cargo options to the UK (London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, etc.). Whether you send an individual box or a complete house full of items; we have prepared the ways of secure shipment for you without shaking your budget and without sacrificing professional quality. The secret of reducing costs in UK shipping is to choose the correct transport mode and timing.

Top 4 Cheapest Methods in UK Shipping

Our logistics solutions that consider your pocket are:

  • Road Partial Shipping: You pay only for the volume (m3) occupied by your belongings. Instead of renting the entire truck, you can reduce the cost by up to 50% by sharing the space with other cargos going to the same route.
  • Sea Container Loading: If you don't have a time problem, sea shipments from Turkey's main ports (Ambarlı, Mersin, Izmir) to UK ports (Felixstowe, Southampton) are the most economical alternative.
  • Ro-Ro and Train Combination: We provide extra discounts in freight prices with our intermodal transport solutions that minimize fuel costs and highway tolls.
  • Consolidation Center Advantage: By using our collection centers in Istanbul and Belgium, we minimize intermediate storage and transfer costs.

Protect Yourself from Hidden Costs in the Post-Brexit Process

In UK shipping, 'cheapest' is not always just the shipping price. Extra warehouse (demurrage) fees that may arise at UK customs due to incorrectly prepared customs documents can create more costs than you expect. Han Bros Cargo protects you from surprise costs with its full command of UK customs legislation (T1, T2 documents, EORI number processes). Additionally, by correctly calculating the volume (desi) of your belongings, we prevent you from paying money for unnecessary air gaps. We ensure you save money by fitting maximum items in the minimum volume with our smart packaging methods.
