Bentech UK offers a diverse range of shipping options tailored to meet your specific requirements based on weight, size, and urgency. We understand the importance of flexibility and choice when it comes to shipping your goods. Below, we provide an overview of the available shipping options to give you a glimpse of our comprehensive services.
Air freight
With our air freight (CPT) service, we handle the shipment until it reaches your chosen airport as un-cleared goods. You will then be notified to arrange customs clearance
Courier service
We offer reliable courier transport services through renowned providers such as DHL, FedEx, Royal Mail, and Aramex, ensuring a convenient "door to door" service. This method is often the most economical and efficient for small items. Additionally, we provide the option to arrange collection using your own account, allowing you to maintain visibility and control over your shipping costs.
Collection (Ex/Works)
You have the flexibility to arrange your own collection through your preferred courier or freight partner directly from our warehouse. This option gives you full control over the shipment, allowing you to manage it according to your preferences and ensuring peace of mind throughout the process.
Sea Freight
This cost-effective shipping option is ideal for transporting heavy and large goods globally, with longer transit times. We have strong working relationships with the largest ocean carriers in the world, which enables us to offer flexible routing and multiple ocean transportation options for both part container (LCL) and full container (FCL) movements
