Stock stuck at port means empty listings
Every day your stock sits at port is a day you can't sell it.
Your listings go out of stock
Delays at customs mean lost sales and lost ranking on Amazon.
Your listings go out of stock
Delays at customs mean lost sales and lost ranking on Amazon.
Your cash is tied up in duty
You pay all the duty and VAT upfront, on stock that won't sell for months.
Too many companies involved
Forwarder, customs agent, prep centre, courier. Every handover is a chance for delay.

There's a simpler way.
How we're different
One company instead of four
Most sellers juggle a forwarder, a customs agent and a prep centre. We do the clearance, storage and FBA prep ourselves.

Case study
Prime Feel: Amazon stock cleared first time
THE PROBLEM
Prime Feel, a home and kitchen brand on Amazon UK, was using several forwarders, agents and warehouses. Documentation errors kept holding up shipments, and stock ran out during busy periods.
WHAT WE DID
We became their single partner, handling freight from China, customs clearance, and Amazon-ready warehousing and fulfilment in the UK.
THE RESULT
Shipments cleared customs on the first attempt, and stock was replenished on time to prevent stock-outs.
Pallets, containers or air
However your stock arrives, we clear it and get it moving to Amazon.
40ft container
Full container loads through Felixstowe, Southampton and London Gateway.
20ft container
Smaller full loads, cleared and collected by our own trucks.
Groupage (LCL)
Shared container space, for when you don't fill a whole box.
Pallets
From a single pallet to a full truckload.
Air cargo
Urgent and high-value goods through Heathrow and other UK airports.
Road trailers
Trucks from Europe through Dover and other ferry ports, with GVMS handled.

FAQ
Answers to your questions
Still unsure? Send us your question and our customs team will get back to you.
Can you send my stock straight to Amazon FBA?
Yes. Once your stock is cleared, we can prep it to Amazon’s requirements and deliver it to Amazon fulfilment centres.
How does bonded storage help my cash flow?
While your stock is in our bonded warehouse, you don’t pay duty or import VAT. You only pay on the stock that leaves, so you’re not paying for months of stock upfront.
Can I release stock in batches?
Yes. Tell us how much to send and when, and we’ll release, prep and deliver it.
What FBA prep do you do?
Labelling, bundling, polybagging and compliance checks in line with Amazon’s FBA requirements.
I also sell on Shopify, eBay or Etsy. Can you help?
Yes. We pick, pack and dispatch orders straight to your customers using integrated couriers.
Do you actually do the clearance yourselves?
Yes. We hold our own customs licence, and our in-house team prepares and lodges every declaration. We never pass your entry to another agent.
How much does customs clearance cost?
Air freight clearance starts from £15 and sea freight from £25. Your quote confirms the exact price for your shipment before we start.
What happens after I send the form?
A member of our customs team (not a call centre) will get back to you within 30 minutes in working hours. We’ll ask a few questions about your shipment and send you a quote. No obligation, and no one chasing you afterwards.
