Introducing our faster, cheaper delivery service
We’ve just launched a new express-like delivery service to the States, and it's packed with game-changing benefits for e-commerce businesses like yours. We’ve teamed up with a major airline to bring you this new service that delivers the speed of a premium courier at a fraction of the cost.
#Significantly faster transit times
Traditionally, shipments to the US go through one of two drop-off points — usually Los Angeles or Newark. That works, but it also means longer delivery times (think 7–10 days, sometimes more). Our new service has up to six entry points spread across the US. That means your parcels land closer to your customers and arrive in just 3–4 days. That’s express speed without the express price tag.
#No volumetric charges (pay by weight only)
This one’s huge. The airline is not charging by volumetric (dimensional) weight — just the actual, dead weight of your parcel. Yes, you did read that correctly. Most air freight services calculate cost using (height x length x width)/5000, which can really sting if you're shipping light-but-bulky items. With our new service, you pay for what your parcel actually weighs. That’s it. No padding the price.
#Seriously low prices
With the introduction of US tariff and duties e-com businesses are now more than ever looking to offset these extra costs for their customers. Thanks to smarter routing, airline partnerships, and those non-volumetric rates, we’re offering economy pricing on what’s essentially an express service.
To give you an idea, a 0.5 kg parcel to anywhere in the US will cost you around £13. That’s not a typo — it’s significantly cheaper than most of the big players.
