The cheapest way to ship from the USA to the UK is by sea freight. It can handle both standard and oversized pallets, and you can ship from 1 pallet up to full container loads at a great value for money.
The fastest way to ship from the US to the EU is through air freight. This service prioritises speed and delivers packages to specific destinations within a few business days. While these express services often come at a premium compared to sea freight services, they are ideal for time-sensitive shipments or high-value goods requiring swift delivery.
You can send pallets of standard or oversized sizes, but please note that the height limit is 160cm. Also, air freight services offer a door-to-door option included in the shipping cost.
Remember, regardless of the chosen method, it's crucial to factor in customs clearance procedures, which can add time to the overall transit. Researching the specific requirements for your shipment and destination country, and considering factors like package size and weight, will ensure you choose the fastest and most appropriate shipping method.
