China to UK shipping bicycles and bicycle parts freight forwarding by Logistics
Do you need a reliable and efficient freight forwarding service to transport your bikes and bike accessories from China to the UK? Logistics is your best choice. We have more than 10 years of experience in logistics services, and has signed contracts with well-known shipping companies, airlines, and China-Europe railways to act as a first-hand agent for freight rates, saving time and costs for customers.
In the first quarter, China exported 10.999 million complete bicycles, an increase of 13.7% from the previous quarter. This data shows that the demand for bicycles and peripheral products is increasing. So what are the ways to transport such products from China to UK?
For the transportation of bicycles, sea freight is a common mode of transportation. Depending on the size of the cargo, there are options for full container (FCL) and bulk cargo (LCL).
For FCL, we can offer 20ft, 40ft, 45ft containers for your choice.
When you have goods from multiple suppliers, you can use our cargo collection service to transport all suppliers’ goods together in one container.
When you need LCL service, please tell us the following relevant information so that we can calculate the specific freight rate for you.
1) Commodity name (Better detailed description like picture, material, usage, etc.)
2) Packing information (Package number/Package type/Volume or dimension/Weight)
3) Payment terms with your supplier (EXW/FOB/CIF or others)
4) Cargo ready date
5) Port of destination or Door delivery address (If to door service required)
6) Other special remarks like if copy brand, if battery, if chemical, if liquid and other services required if you have
When you choose door-to-door service, please note that the time for LCL service to the door will be longer than that for full container shipping to the door. Because bulk cargo is a joint container of goods from multiple shippers, it needs to be unpacked, divided, and delivered after arriving at the destination port in the UK, so it takes a long time.
Logistics’ shipping range from China to the UK includes shipments from major coastal and inland ports in China: Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai, Xiamen, Tianjin, Qingdao, Hong Kong, Wuhan, etc. to major ports (Southampton, Felixstowe, Liverpool, etc.) in the UK, and can also provide door-delivery.
Logistics provides high-quality air freight logistics services for import and export trade between China and the UK. At present, our channel is mature and stable, and is recognized by our old customers. We have signed contracts with airlines to reduce logistics costs for customers, and the economic benefits are gradually emerging after long-term cooperation.
For the transportation of bicycles and bicycle parts, the advantage of air freight is that they can be delivered to customers in a short time. Our air freight shipping time from China to the UK can basically be delivered to your door within 5 days: we can pick up goods from suppliers today, load goods on board for airlifting the next day, and deliver to your address in the UK on the third day. In other words, you can receive your items in as little as 3 days.
Air freight means fast transportation, and some high-value goods tend to be transported by air.
Logistics was referred by an old customer to a British customer in the bicycle industry. This customer mainly deals in high-end bicycle products, and some bicycle parts are worth thousands of dollars. Every time we help him arrange air freight for bicycle parts, we will repeatedly instruct the supplier to pack them well, so that the goods will be in good condition after the customer receives them. At the same time, we will insure such high-value goods, so that if the goods are damaged, the customer’s loss can be minimized.
Of course, we can also provide express delivery services. If customers need a small amount of bicycle parts urgently, we will also arrange for customers by UPS or FEDEX express delivery.
From China to the UK, people may consider sea freight or air freight more, but the China-Europe Railway is a great invention. There is no doubt that rail transport is safe and timely enough. It is not affected by weather conditions, faster than sea freight, and more affordable than air freight (depending on the volume and weight of the goods).
According to your specific cargo information, Logistics can provide full container (FCL) and bulk cargo (LCL) rail transport services. From Xi’an, FCL transport takes 12-16 days to the UK; LCL transport departs every Wednesday and Saturday and arrives in the UK in about 18 days. You see, this timeliness is also lovely.
