International and National Shipping/ Delivery

[mark_hadfield]

All,

I'm looking into different delivery services - UPS/ FedEx etc - and am going to look at sample rates... I just thought I'd ask around who uses what company? And are you satisfied?

I'm just trying to figure out which service would be best/ most economical for business in the future. This maybe UK-UK deliveries, and also India-UK deliveries. Packages of 10KG-25KG (rough estimate).

I also then will need a company to distribute smaller quantities (2KG-10KG) - this maybe a different company dependent upon pricing...

Any comments?

If UK-India is going to be your only/major route, it is worth seeking out a specialist carrier/freight forwarder. They may well be cheaper, can arrange more specialist requirments you may have and will probably offer a more personal service.

Try DHL, or TNT or similar. I'm personally going to be importing with TNT.

Our manufacturing side has recently started using a company called kuehne & nagel - http://www.kn-portal.com/ they have been reliable for us so far . . .
