Cut freight costs and optimize transit times with our Premium Import Ocean Service
- Fastest transit time available – twelve days from the UK to Toronto (versus 16-21 days provided by most competitors)
- For faster service, try our weekly air consolidation service from London to Toronto. Rush or emergency shipments can be diverted on short notice from ocean to air.
- Scheduled weekly departures 51 weeks a year (excluding Christmas/New Year's week)
- 40+ year track record, achieved by consistently providing the most reliable service, the fastest transit times and the most competitive pricing
- #1 for weekly consolidated container shipments. That means your freight is shipped direct (not through a 3rd party co-loader), a step that shortens transit time
- Cut-off times that are later than the industry standard, which means your shippers have more time to prepare and deliver an order and are less likely to miss a sailing
- While many competitors only operate out of London, we operate separate weekly services from Manchester (for shipments from northern England) and London (for shipments from southern England)
- Lower trucking costs for northern shippers and for the importer (under ex-works terms), because we operate a second consolidation out of Manchester
- Reliable winter service because our ocean freight goes through Halifax, a deep water port that never freezes
- Order status updates on request. Just give us your purchase order number – we do the rest
- Convenient online shipment tracking, including automatic weekly updates (enRoute) and track and trace via our web site (Inside Trac)
- Free Smart Freight Review. Available exclusively from Universal Logistics, this service includes a preliminary assessment of selected transactions covering a specific period of time or trade lane, and recommendations on how to reduce your freight costs and better manage your transit times. You implement the changes and reap the savings. It's that easy. And it is absolutely free.
