Pallet2Ship partners with one of the top carriers, Palletways

Palletways

With an experience of over 12 years in the transportation industry, we have been working with different carriers and freight forwarders, and we have teamed-up with the top ones.

One of the carriers we are most proud to be working with is Palletways. Palletways entered the market in 1994, in Lichfield, Staffordshire. After 10 successful years, Palletways decided to expand their business into Europe, starting with a hub in Nijmegen in the Netherlands, and then developed their infrastructure in Spain, Germany, Italy and so on. Today, the company operates in 24 countries, via 450 depots and 23 hubs.

In 2016 the company teamed-up with Imperial Logistics. Due to this partnership, the business has continued to grow and strengthen its position in Europe.

Palletways are one of our most reliable carriers, and through our co-operation with them we are proud to provide the best and most cost-effective services to our customers.

We work very closely with one of largest and most trustworthy members, Frederick Miller. Our customer service teams are in constant communication, and this strong relationship has always benefited our customers. Together, we manage to spot and resolve many issues, staring with failed collections/deliveries, potential delays, special requirements, etc.

We offer Palletways services on both domestic and international shipments, and they can handle both imports and exports.

To be a reputable carrier, the correct handling and safety of the goods they are shipping is one of the most important things, and make no mistake about it, Palletways have one of the best reputations in the business. Once a shipment has been collected, the customer can have total peace of mind that Palletways will do their very best to deliver the freight in the same condition they have collected it. More than that, the customer can also choose to insure their freight while using the Palletways services. If you are looking to insure your goods, and you want to know how much it will cost you, please visit our Insurance Calculator page.

Palletways's domestic and international services

We all know that exports and imports to/from Europe are now handled differently than before Brexit. When we say this, we are referring to the customs clearance process, which may seem a real concern to our customers. Thankfully, Palletways can arrange the customs formalities on behalf of the customers and their service includes customs clearance for both exports and imports.

Palletways also offer a shipping route between the Republic of Ireland and EU (and vice versa). The route they are using does not require any special documentation and the freight moves freely between these two destinations.

Palletways can also handle large, oversized pallets. They have suitable vehicles for these types of consignments, and they can collect or deliver from/to most remote areas.

When it comes to domestic shipments, Palletways can ship a wide range of items, including personal effects. All you need to do is to pack your goods, and secure them very well on the pallet.

Despite the destination of your consignment, there are plenty of items that you can transport which may be restricted with other companies, such as engines and gearboxes. Nevertheless, please make sure they are professionally cleaned and drained of liquids before packing them, so they can travel safely.

Keep up to date with all your consignment's updates

Another aspect that must be brought to our customer's attention is the transparency of their consignments' journey. To be able to track your consignment is an aspect of great importance for us, not only because it provides total peace of mind for our customers, but also because we will be able to work more efficiently; an advanced tracking system is not something that all carriers may offer, but Palletways does. Their advanced IT system offers full visibility to the customers, and they can monitor all the updates on their consignment.

On our side, we have also managed to work on a very advanced IT system, and we were able to integrate their tracking system, so our customers can benefit from the same visibility of their consignments.

We know it may be challenging to choose the best carrier, especially considering how saturated the market is, but one thing we can tell you for sure, Palletways are innovating the freight industry yet still hold traditional principles regarding work ethic and customer service.
