Answers before you even have to ask

Common questions about shipping, tracking, customs and removals. Can't find what you need? Our team is one call away.

How long does a UK sea freight shipment take?

+

Transit times depend on the origin port and destination, but most full-container shipments from Asia arrive in the UK within 25–40 days, while European short-sea routes typically take 3–7 days. Your quote will include a specific estimated transit time for your route.

Do you handle customs clearance for me?

+

Yes. Our in-house customs team prepares and submits your HMRC declarations, calculates duty and VAT, and manages clearance at the border, so you don't need a separate customs broker.

Can I track my shipment in real time?

+

Every shipment is assigned a tracking reference the moment it's booked. You can follow its status on our Track Shipment page, from pickup through to final delivery.

Is my cargo insured during transit?

+

All shipments booked through Ship Fast Movers include standard goods-in-transit cover. Enhanced cargo insurance is available for high-value or fragile goods — ask your account manager for a quote.

What areas do you cover for removals?

+

We handle domestic and commercial removals across the whole of the UK, plus European relocations. Same-day quotes are available for most postcodes.

How quickly can I get a quote?

+

Most quote requests submitted through our online form receive a response within a few working hours. Urgent or complex shipments may take up to one working day.

Do you offer warehousing for overflow stock?

+

Yes, our UK warehouse network offers flexible short and long-term storage, along with pick-and-pack fulfilment for businesses that need to scale storage up or down.

What payment terms do you offer?

+

Standard terms are 30 days from invoice for approved business accounts, or payment on booking for one-off shipments. Speak to our team about setting up a trade account.
