How transit times are calculated
Every shared container shipment moves through three phases. Our estimates combine current sailing schedules with realistic UK consolidation and destination clearance windows.
1. UK consolidation
Cargo is collected, stuffed and sealed into the next available container at our UK depot — typically 3–7 days.
2. Ocean freight
Port-to-port sailing time depends on the route, transhipment and seasonal congestion. Express services skip lower-priority ports.
3. Destination clearance
Customs clearance, port handling and onward delivery — usually 3–7 working days with complete paperwork.
