Low Cost Pallet Delivery Services to and from Argentina

Q: How should I pack a pallet for Argentina?

Use a sound pallet or crate suited to the goods. Put heavier items at the base, prevent movement, strap the goods securely and wrap around the load and pallet base. Protect corners and fragile sections, label clearly, and make sure the completed shipment is safe to lift and handle throughout the journey.

Q: Do wooden pallets need ISPM-15 for Argentina?

Yes. Regulated solid-wood pallets, crates and dunnage must comply with ISPM-15, known in Spanish as NIMF 15, and carry the required mark. The importer or its representative must also arrange the applicable SENASA wood-packaging declaration before arrival. Confirm the packaging and declaration requirements before dispatch; the mark does not replace the declaration.

Q: Do I need customs documents to ship from the UK to Argentina?

Yes. Commercial shipments from the UK to Argentina require export and import customs documentation. Supply accurate goods descriptions, values, commodity codes, origin details and the identities of the exporter, importer and receiver. The exact documents depend on the goods, transport mode and import procedure.

UK to Argentina Pallet Delivery, Built for Long-Haul Freight

Pallet2Ship arranges pallet delivery between the UK and Argentina by air and sea. Compare available air freight quotes online or request an LCL or FCL sea freight quote.

Whether you are sending stock to Buenos Aires, shipping equipment to Córdoba or collecting goods from an Argentine supplier, we help you choose a service that fits the shipment. The delivery address, packed dimensions, weight and required arrival date all matter on this long-haul route.

Where online pricing is available, you can see the full transport price for the selected service before booking. For sea freight and other manually quoted movements, we confirm the price and service scope before you book. No credit account or minimum shipment volume is required.

Services Between the UK and Argentina

Air Freight to Argentina

Air freight is usually the quickest option for urgent goods. It suits smaller consignments and shipments where the cost of waiting is greater than the additional transport cost.

Online quotes for supported services
Parcels, single pallets and multi-pallet shipments
Time-sensitive stock, samples, machinery parts and replacement goods
Door-to-door options where supported by the route and carrier

For planning, air freight typically takes around 3–7 working days, depending on the service, customs clearance and final delivery location. Check what the quoted timeframe includes; an airport-to-airport estimate is not the same as door-to-door delivery.

Air cargo commonly routes via Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE), Buenos Aires, or other airports depending on the carrier. The routing and onward delivery arrangements are confirmed for the selected service.

Sea Freight to Argentina

Sea freight is usually more economical for larger, heavier or non-urgent consignments. It can be suitable when your schedule allows for a journey measured in weeks rather than days.

Quotations on request rather than instant online sea pricing
Palletised stock, crated equipment and larger commercial loads
LCL for shared-container freight and FCL for a dedicated container
Door-to-door or port-based options on supported routes

For planning, allow around 4–8+ weeks, depending on the route, sailing schedule, LCL or FCL service and customs arrangements. Confirm whether the estimate covers port-to-port transport or also includes collection, handling and final delivery.

Shipments may route through Buenos Aires or other Argentine ports. Your quotation confirms the service scope and the origin and destination charges included.

LCL and FCL Container Freight

Pallet2Ship can arrange LCL and FCL sea freight between the UK and Argentina.

LCL, or less than container load, shares container space with other shipments. Charges normally reflect the space or weight used, making it worth considering for smaller pallet consignments.

FCL, or full container load, provides a dedicated container. It can suit higher volumes, dense cargo or goods with particular handling requirements; the container does not have to be completely full.

As a shipment grows, compare both options using the complete origin-to-destination cost, not just the sea-freight rate. Provide the packed dimensions, weight and delivery requirements so our team can review the alternatives.

Packing Standards for Argentina Pallet Delivery

Pack for handling at collection, freight terminals and final delivery, as well as the air or sea journey. The finished shipment must be stable, protected and accurately measured.

Use a strong pallet or crate suited to the goods and their weight
Place heavy items at the base and secure the load against movement
Strap the goods to the pallet, then wrap around the load and pallet base
Protect corners, edges and any declared overhang
Use suitable moisture protection for sea freight where needed
Label clearly and record the full packed dimensions and weight

Regulated solid-wood pallets, crates and dunnage must meet ISPM-15 requirements, known in Spanish as NIMF 15, and carry the required mark. The importer or its representative must also arrange the applicable SENASA wood-packaging declaration before arrival. The mark does not replace the declaration. Confirm these requirements before dispatch.

Coverage Across Argentina

Services are available to many destinations across Argentina, subject to the selected carrier and shipment. Common delivery areas include:

Argentina is a large country, so service availability, transit times, carrier coverage and delivery charges can vary significantly by province, city and final delivery address.

Common delivery areas include:

Buenos Aires and La Plata
Córdoba and Rosario
Mendoza and Santa Fe
Mar del Plata
San Miguel de Tucumán and Salta
Other regional locations where supported

A delivery to a major city can have different onward transport requirements from an inland or remote address. Provide the complete destination postcode, address and local contact details so availability, access, transit time and any additional delivery charges can be checked.

Business and Residential Pallet Delivery to Argentina

Our Argentina services are geared towards businesses, from occasional senders to regular importers and exporters. Delivery options depend on the shipment and route:

Business addresses: factories, warehouses, shops and other commercial premises
Residential addresses: supported on selected services, subject to access and handling
Ports and terminals: available on selected sea freight quotations

Confirm the unloading arrangements at both ends. A door-to-door booking and a port-based quotation are different services: with port-based freight, the receiver may need to arrange clearance, release and onward transport separately.

Importing Pallets from Argentina to the UK

We also arrange Argentina-to-UK freight for businesses buying stock, sourcing machinery parts, returning goods or importing samples.

The Argentine sender should prepare the export documents and goods, while the UK importer supplies the information needed for UK clearance. This normally includes a Commercial Invoice, accurate descriptions, values, commodity codes, origin details and agreed Incoterms. A GB EORI is normally required for a business importing into England, Wales or Scotland; Northern Ireland arrangements can differ.

Sea movements use a Bill of Lading or another agreed sea transport document. Air movements use an Air Waybill (AWB) or the carrier’s transport record. Confirm clearance, destination handling and onward delivery arrangements before the goods leave the sender.

Customs and Paperwork for Great Britain–Argentina Shipments

Argentina is outside the UK and EU customs areas and uses the Argentine peso.

Commercial freight between Great Britain and Argentina requires export and import customs clearance. Argentina uses the Argentine peso (ARS), but invoice values must always show the actual transaction currency clearly.

Depending on the goods and service, the paperwork may include:

A Commercial Invoice with descriptions, quantities, values, origin and commodity codes
A packing list and full exporter, importer and receiver details
GB EORI information for the UK commercial party where required
Agreed Incoterms, including the named place and responsibilities
Product-specific licences, certificates or approvals
The relevant air or sea transport document and wood-packaging declaration

Argentine importer details

Before dispatch, the Argentine importer should confirm its local tax identification, such as CUIT, the customs profile required for the import procedure and its clearance arrangements. CUIT is Argentina’s tax identification number, not an EU EORI number. The importer or its authorised representative should establish who will submit the customs declaration and provide supporting documents.

Import duties, IVA and destination costs

Imports may attract customs duty, IVA (value-added tax), a statistical levy, clearance fees and other destination charges. Argentina’s general IVA rate is 21%, although other rates and exemptions can apply. The complete import bill depends on the goods, customs value, origin and import procedure; it is not simply 21% of the invoice value.

Under DAP, the receiver normally handles import clearance and pays the applicable import duties and taxes. DDP places those responsibilities on the sender, but it must be confirmed for the goods, route and service before booking. Agree the terms with the other party rather than assuming the freight price includes every destination cost.

Preparing and Protecting Your Shipment

Before booking, confirm the service scope with both the sender and receiver. Make sure the goods, dimensions and documents agree, and check that the receiver can be contacted during local business hours.

First-time shipper? See our How to Prepare a Pallet guide for simple step-by-step advice.

Our guidance on Commodity Codes, EORI numbers and Incoterms 2020 is available through the Logistics 101 hub.

Read the information under the blue “i” button on each quote and check the service icons. They explain restrictions, document requirements, tracking and what the collection or delivery service includes.

Additional carrier charges can arise if the shipment differs from the booking or collection or delivery cannot be completed as arranged. Separately, import duties, taxes, clearance, terminal handling or storage may apply according to the service and import arrangements.

Case Studies about shipping to Argentina

Quick Summary

A UK customer arranged an air freight shipment of palletised machinery parts from Manchester to Buenos Aires. The goods reached the local delivery stage, but the carrier could not contact the receiver using the telephone number supplied at booking.The number was outdated, so the goods were held at a depot while current contact information was requested. Pallet2Ship contacted the sender, obtained a working Argentine number and passed it to the carrier so delivery arrangements could resume.

Key Facts

Route: UK to Argentina
Origin: Manchester, UK
Destination: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Mode: Air freight
Goods: Palletised machinery parts
Issue: An outdated receiver number prevented the carrier from arranging delivery
Resolution: Updated receiver details obtained from the sender and passed to the carrier

What Happened

The customer needed to send time-sensitive machinery parts to a receiver in Argentina. Air freight was selected because the goods needed to move more quickly than sea freight would allow.

The sender supplied the delivery address and contact details, prepared the pallet and completed the booking. Collection and the international freight movement proceeded as expected.

The problem emerged when the local carrier tried to arrange final delivery. The telephone number on the booking was no longer in use. Although the carrier had an address, it could not reach the receiver to confirm the delivery arrangements, and the goods were held at the local depot.

An old customer record or a change of staff can leave a booking with an inactive number. In this case, updating the contact details was necessary before the carrier could continue arranging delivery.

What the Customer Did Right

Booking and communication

• Supplied commercial shipment details before export

• Responded when Pallet2Ship requested updated information

• Contacted the receiver and obtained a current Argentine number

• Confirmed that the delivery address was still correct

• Passed the replacement contact details back promptly

Physical preparation

• Packed the goods securely for air freight handling

• Declared the packed pallet weight and dimensions

• Labelled the shipment clearly

• Had the goods ready for collection on time

What Went Wrong

1. The receiver phone number was outdated

The number supplied at booking was no longer valid. The local carrier needed a working contact for the receiver rather than relying on the original booking record.

2. Delivery arrangements could not be confirmed

Without that contact, the carrier could not resolve the final delivery arrangements. The issue concerned the local delivery stage, not a change to the shipment’s air freight service.

3. The depot hold needed a prompt response

The goods were held while updated information was requested. A prolonged hold could have led to further delay or storage, redelivery or return costs, depending on the carrier’s terms and the circumstances.

How Pallet2Ship Resolved It

After the carrier reported the contact problem, Pallet2Ship asked the sender to confirm:

• The receiver’s current telephone number and whether it was a mobile or landline

• Whether the receiver could be reached during local business hours

• Whether the delivery address was still correct

• Whether any access restrictions applied

• Whether the receiver knew that a pallet delivery was due

The sender checked with the receiver and supplied a current Argentine contact number. Pallet2Ship passed the corrected information to the carrier and asked it to continue with the delivery arrangements.

With the updated details available, the carrier could review and rearrange delivery according to its local process.

Results

• The outdated contact number was identified

• A current Argentine number was obtained from the sender

• Corrected details were passed to the local carrier

• The carrier was able to resume delivery arrangements

The prompt response reduced the risk of an extended depot hold and further handling or return costs. The recorded outcome is the restoration of the contact information needed to arrange delivery.

What to Do vs What Not to Do

Do This

• Check the receiver’s current contact name and telephone number before booking.

• Provide a local Argentine mobile or landline number wherever possible.

• Confirm that the receiver knows the goods are on their way.

• Make sure someone can respond during normal local business hours.

• Confirm the delivery address, access and unloading arrangements.

• Respond promptly if Pallet2Ship or the carrier requests updated information.

Don't Do This

• Do not copy an old telephone number without checking it still works.

• Do not assume an email address alone will resolve every delivery query.

• Do not name a contact who will be unavailable during delivery hours.

• Do not ignore requests for corrected receiver details.

• Do not assume the driver can complete a pallet delivery without any prior coordination.

• Do not wait for a depot hold before checking the receiving arrangements.

Why It Matters

Correct packing and customs paperwork do not remove the need for a reachable receiver. A shipment can complete its international journey and still be delayed at the final stage because the local carrier cannot confirm access or delivery arrangements.

In this case, the problem was a single outdated telephone number. Pallet2Ship obtained the corrected details from the sender and passed them to the carrier so the delivery process could continue.

For UK–Argentina freight, checking the receiver’s number before booking is a small task with practical value. It gives the destination carrier someone to contact when access, availability or delivery instructions need to be confirmed.

about shipping services to and from Argentina

Quotes & Pricing

The price depends on the route, packed dimensions, weight, transport mode and collection and delivery arrangements. Air freight is usually faster, while sea freight can be more economical for larger consignments. Use the Quote & Book system for available online prices. Sea freight is quoted on request.

Usually, yes. Air freight suits urgent, high-value or time-sensitive shipments, while sea freight is often better value for larger loads. As a planning guide, air freight typically takes around 3–7 working days and sea freight around 4–8+ weeks. Confirm the current estimate and service scope with the quote; customs and onward delivery can affect the timing.

The transport price covers the service and shipment details confirmed at booking, whether quoted online or manually. Additional carrier charges may apply if the freight differs from those details or collection or delivery cannot be completed as arranged. Import duties, taxes and destination charges are separate unless expressly included in the quotation.

Not usually. The transport price covers the selected freight service. Import duties, IVA, a statistical levy, clearance fees and port or terminal charges may be payable separately. Check the quotation and agreed Incoterms so the sender and receiver know which costs each party is responsible for.

Air freight is normally priced using chargeable weight: the higher of the packed shipment’s actual weight and its volumetric weight. A large, lightweight pallet can therefore cost more than its scale weight suggests. Provide the full packed dimensions and total weight so the selected service uses the correct calculation.

Supported air freight and parcel services can be quoted online. Sea freight to and from Argentina is quoted on request, and oversized, restricted or specialist shipments may also need manual review. Provide the route, goods description, packed dimensions and weight when requesting a quotation.

No account is needed to obtain a quote. To complete an international booking, you will need a free online account to manage your bookings, invoices and customs documents. This is not a credit account: there is no credit check or minimum shipment volume. Payment is arranged through checkout or the confirmed quotation process.

The quote sets out the transport service and the charges included. Import duties, taxes and some destination costs may be separate, depending on the service and agreed Incoterms. Additional carrier charges can also arise if shipment details are incorrect or collection or delivery cannot be completed as booked. Review the inclusions before paying.

For services available through online checkout, payment is made securely when you book. For sea freight or manually quoted movements, follow the payment instructions provided with the confirmed quotation. The team will explain the booking and payment process before collection is arranged.

Transit Times & Routing

As a planning guide, air freight typically takes around 3–7 working days, while sea freight typically takes around 4–8+ weeks. The route, carrier, customs clearance and final delivery location affect the estimate. Confirm whether the quoted timeframe covers door-to-door transport or only the airport-to-airport or port-to-port journey. Collection, consolidation, terminal handling and onward delivery can add time when they are outside that scope.

Air freight is normally the faster option and is better suited to urgent consignments. Sea freight usually takes longer but can offer better value for large or heavy loads. Compare the complete collection-to-delivery estimate, not just the flight or sea voyage, when working to a deadline.

Goods move by container ship as LCL shared-container freight or FCL dedicated-container freight. Depending on the carrier and destination, routing may involve Buenos Aires or another Argentine port, with transhipment where required. Collection and final delivery are included only where specified in the quotation.

Yes. Commercial shipments between Great Britain and Argentina require customs clearance. Missing information, inconsistent paperwork, product checks or an inspection can delay release. Complete the documents accurately and make sure the importer is ready to answer questions and arrange any required payments before the goods arrive.

Peak trading periods, UK and Argentine public holidays, severe weather, port or airport congestion and high carrier demand can affect schedules. Sea freight also depends on sailing and consolidation schedules. For a time-sensitive shipment, allow contingency time and confirm current availability before booking.

Packing & Pallet Requirements

Use a sound pallet or crate suited to the goods. Put heavier items at the base, prevent movement, strap the goods securely and wrap around the load and pallet base. Protect corners and fragile sections, label clearly, and make sure the completed shipment is safe to lift and handle throughout the journey.

Yes. Regulated solid-wood pallets, crates and dunnage must comply with ISPM-15, known in Spanish as NIMF 15, and carry the required mark. The importer or its representative must also arrange the applicable SENASA wood-packaging declaration before arrival. Confirm the packaging and declaration requirements before dispatch; the mark does not replace the declaration.

There is no single limit across every Argentina service. Acceptance depends on the carrier, transport mode, individual piece weight, dimensions and handling facilities. Heavy shipments may require specialist air cargo, sea freight or container transport. Provide each piece’s packed weight and dimensions so the correct service can be checked.

A forklift or another suitable loading method may be needed for heavy, oversized, crated or non-standard freight that cannot be handled safely by the selected vehicle’s equipment. Confirm the collection and delivery arrangements before booking. Do not assume a driver will arrive with a tail-lift or forklift.

Availability depends on the collection and delivery addresses, vehicle, shipment size and local carrier arrangements. Tell us before booking if either address has no forklift or loading equipment. We can check whether a suitable tail-lift service or another handling arrangement is available for the shipment.

Yes, subject to carrier acceptance and suitable handling arrangements. Declare the complete packed dimensions, including overhang and protrusions. Long, wide, tall or unusually heavy pieces may need specialist air cargo, sea freight or a dedicated container rather than a standard online service.

Incorrect measurements can change the chargeable weight, handling requirements or suitability of the booked service. The carrier may re-rate the shipment, refuse collection or delay it while another arrangement is made. Measure the fully packed load, including the pallet, crate, wrapping and any overhang.

Measure the full loaded length, width and height at their widest points, not just the pallet base. Include all packaging and protruding sections. Record the actual gross weight of the goods, pallet or crate and protective materials, and provide separate measurements for each piece in a multi-piece shipment.

Customs & Documentation

Yes. Commercial shipments from the UK to Argentina require export and import customs documentation. Supply accurate goods descriptions, values, commodity codes, origin details and the identities of the exporter, importer and receiver. The exact documents depend on the goods, transport mode and import procedure.

You will normally need a Commercial Invoice, accurate commodity codes, quantities, values, country of origin, full sender and receiver details, and agreed Incoterms. Provide GB EORI details for the UK commercial party where required. A packing list, Bill of Lading or Air Waybill and product-specific licences, certificates or approvals may also be needed.

Before dispatch, the importer should confirm the local tax identification, such as CUIT, customs profile and clearance arrangements needed for the selected import procedure. CUIT is Argentina’s tax identification number. The importer or its authorised representative should establish who will submit the declaration and provide any supporting documents.

The Harmonized System, or HS, is the international framework for classifying traded goods. Customs declarations use commodity codes based on that framework, with additional digits according to the country and procedure. The correct code helps establish duties, taxes and controls. Do not assume a supplier’s code is automatically complete for every declaration.

Imports may attract customs duty, IVA (value-added tax), a statistical levy and clearance or destination charges. The general IVA rate is 21%, although other rates and exemptions can apply. The total depends on the goods, customs value, origin and import procedure; 21% is not an estimate of the complete import bill.

The agreed Incoterms allocate these responsibilities. Under DAP, the receiver normally handles import clearance and pays the applicable import duties and taxes. Under DDP, the sender takes those responsibilities, but a workable DDP service and import arrangement must be confirmed before booking. The terms should match what both parties have agreed commercially.

Commercial sales shipments need a Commercial Invoice with clear descriptions, values, quantities, country of origin and commodity codes. Non-commercial goods, samples or personal effects may require a Proforma Invoice, inventory or other documents according to the import procedure and service. Confirm the requirements rather than sending goods without customs paperwork.

There is no fixed clearance time for every shipment. Timing depends on the goods, importer details, declaration, supporting documents and whether an inspection or additional approval is required. Complete paperwork helps, but it does not guarantee immediate release. Respond promptly to requests from the customs representative or carrier.

Argentina uses the Argentine peso, abbreviated ARS. The Commercial Invoice should clearly identify the currency in which the goods are valued, whether that is pesos, pounds or another agreed transaction currency. Do not leave customs to infer the currency from the amount alone.

Prohibited & Restricted Items

No. Pallet2Ship does not handle alcohol on any service.

Some ambient, non-perishable foods may be possible after checks. Food, plant and animal products can require import approvals, certificates or inspections, so confirm acceptance before booking. Perishable, chilled, frozen or temperature-controlled goods are not suitable for standard pallet services.

Battery acceptance depends on the chemistry, capacity, quantity, packaging, condition and transport mode. Lithium batteries and equipment containing them are subject to dangerous-goods rules and service-specific restrictions. Contact Pallet2Ship before booking with the battery details and the relevant safety or transport documentation.

Medical, pharmaceutical and healthcare products may require licences, approvals, supporting documents or temperature-controlled transport. The Argentine importer should confirm the entry requirements, and Pallet2Ship must check carrier acceptance before booking. Do not assume that a standard parcel or pallet service is suitable.

Personal effects are not accepted through standard pallet services and may be sent using our DHL service only. Used furniture must be professionally packed by a removal company. Goods must be declared clearly and supported by a detailed inventory or Proforma Invoice. Other carriers and standard pallet services do not accept personal effects. Confirm acceptance and Argentina’s entry requirements before booking.

Samples may be shipped where the goods and service are accepted. They still need accurate descriptions, appropriate customs values and the required documents. Writing “sample” or “no commercial value” does not remove customs requirements or automatically make the shipment exempt from import charges.

Some dangerous goods may be possible following manual review and carrier approval. Do not book them as standard freight. Send the current SDS where applicable, UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group where applicable, quantities, packaging details and route. The shipper remains responsible for correct classification, preparation and documentation.

Collection & Delivery

Standard collections usually take place Monday to Friday, typically between 08:00 and 18:00. The applicable collection window depends on the carrier and service. A booking cut-off is not a driver appointment time, so the goods and someone able to hand them over should be available for the agreed window.

Same-day collection may be possible in some areas, depending on booking time, vehicle availability and the service selected. It is not guaranteed unless confirmed. For Argentina pallet freight, check the collection address, carrier and required paperwork before booking; parcel-service or domestic pallet-network deadlines do not automatically apply.

Residential delivery may be available on selected services, subject to access, shipment size, customs arrangements and local handling options. Some sea freight or heavy-freight quotations may end at a business address, port, depot or terminal instead. Confirm the exact delivery scope and unloading arrangements before booking.

A current Argentine mobile or landline number is strongly recommended, together with the receiver’s name. The local carrier may need to confirm access and delivery arrangements. Check the number with the receiver before booking rather than relying on an old customer record, and make sure the contact is available during local business hours.

Timed delivery may be available by arrangement on some routes, but it must be confirmed for the selected service. Standard international freight does not normally provide an exact appointment time. Tell us about the required date or receiving window before booking, especially for remote destinations or restricted-access premises.

Declare access restrictions before booking. These include narrow roads, limited parking, security gates, height or weight limits, rural access and unavailable unloading equipment. Provide clear details for both collection and delivery so the carrier can assess vehicle access and any special arrangements needed.

Services may be available, but remote and rural addresses need to be checked individually. Carrier coverage, onward transport and handling can differ from major-city services. Provide the complete address, postcode and local contact details so availability, expected timing and any additional charges can be confirmed.

Pallet2Ship can arrange delivery to many Argentine destinations, including Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Rosario, Mendoza, La Plata, Mar del Plata, Santa Fe, San Miguel de Tucumán and Salta. Coverage depends on the selected service; nationwide availability should not be assumed for every shipment or address.

Insurance & Protection

Yes. Insurance can be added during booking for values up to £50,000, with higher cover available on request. Cover is subject to the policy terms shown during booking.

Freight insurance can cover loss or damage during transit within the policy terms. The goods must be described accurately and packed properly. Limits, exclusions and the scope of cover can differ for new and used goods, so read the insurance information presented during booking before selecting cover.

Cover for used personal belongings can be limited or unavailable depending on the goods, service and policy. Do not assume it provides the same protection as cover for new goods. Check the available cover and exclusions before booking, especially for used furniture or mixed personal belongings.

Note visible damage on the delivery paperwork where possible and contact Pallet2Ship promptly with photographs, shipment details and supporting documents. Carrier and insurer notification deadlines apply. See our Claims Process page for the evidence required and the steps to follow.

Service Types & Carriers

Carrier options depend on the route, shipment and service. Pallet2Ship works with international parcel, air freight and sea freight providers. Available services are shown in an online quote or confirmed during a manual quotation, together with the relevant collection, handling and delivery requirements.

Yes. Air freight can carry parcels, pallets and larger commercial consignments, subject to carrier acceptance. It is useful for urgent stock, machinery parts and other time-sensitive goods. Provide the full packed dimensions, weight and description so the service can be checked against aircraft and handling limits.

Yes. Sea freight is available for larger, heavier or non-urgent consignments, including LCL and FCL container options. It is quoted on request rather than priced instantly online. Depending on the route, the quotation may cover port-based transport or door-to-door delivery.

Most services provide tracking or shipment updates. Parcel and air services usually offer online tracking, while sea freight, container and specialist movements may provide milestone information or updates on request during business hours. The level of detail depends on the service and carrier.

Yes. Pallet2Ship can arrange parcels, bulky cartons, pallets and larger freight, depending on the route and selected service. For smaller non-palletised consignments, see our Parcel Services page. Book the goods as they will actually be presented at collection; a loaded pallet should not be entered as a parcel.

Yes. Pallet2Ship arranges imports from Argentina to the UK. Select Argentina as the collection country and the UK as the destination when requesting a quote. Some services may need a manual quotation, and the sender and importer must provide the information needed for export and UK import clearance.

Booking & Changes

Enter the route, quantity, packed dimensions and weight in the Quote & Book system. Choose an available online service or request a manual quotation. Confirm the service scope, complete the account and payment steps, supply the required documents and prepare the shipment for the agreed collection arrangements.

Contact Pallet2Ship as soon as possible. Changes may be difficult once the shipment has been collected, routed internationally or entered customs processing. A new address can affect the price, clearance arrangements and delivery schedule, so do not assume that the carrier can redirect the goods automatically.

Cancellation terms depend on the carrier, service and stage of the booking. Contact Pallet2Ship immediately if you need to cancel. Charges may apply once collection, handling or transport has been arranged, particularly where a manually quoted or specialist service is involved.

The carrier may hold the goods, seek new instructions or arrange another permitted option. Storage, handling, redelivery or return charges can apply, and customs restrictions may limit what happens next. Agree the Incoterms, import responsibilities and receiving arrangements before dispatch to reduce avoidable refusals.

No. Each delivery address requires a separate booking so the shipment has the correct routing, labels, paperwork and receiving instructions. Provide the details for each destination when requesting prices, particularly where the addresses have different customs, access or unloading arrangements.

For routine services, allowing 24–48 hours before the intended collection is a useful starting point, but availability is not guaranteed. Start sea freight, container, oversized or time-critical enquiries earlier because carrier quotations, documents and handling arrangements may need additional time. Confirm the actual collection options before committing to a delivery deadline.

Practical Considerations

Yes, subject to the goods being accepted for import and suitable for the selected service. Secure machinery to a pallet or crate, declare its condition and dimensions, and identify batteries, fluids or other regulated components. Engines and mechanical parts must be cleaned and drained where required. Used equipment should be checked before booking.

Some services support mixed consignments, but this must be checked before booking. Provide the quantity, packed dimensions and weight of every parcel and pallet. The selected service must accept all pieces and their handling requirements; do not assume a parcel quotation also covers palletised goods.

That depends on the service quoted. Door-to-door sea freight may be arranged on supported routes, while a port-based quotation ends at the agreed port, terminal or freight facility. Confirm who arranges customs clearance, cargo release and onward delivery before booking. Do not assume these services are included in a port-based price.

Someone must be available at the collection address to hand over the goods, provide access and assist with the agreed loading arrangements. It does not have to be the person who made the booking, but the contact on site must know what is being collected and have the shipment ready.

For door-to-door delivery, someone must be available to receive the goods and provide the agreed access and unloading arrangements. For a port-based service, the importer or its representative arranges release and collection instead. Deal with customs documents and payments through the clearance process rather than waiting for the delivery driver.

Common causes include incomplete customs documents, missing importer details, incorrect commodity codes, inaccurate dimensions, unsuitable packing, port or airport congestion and outstanding destination charges. Final delivery can also be delayed by access problems or an outdated receiver telephone number. Check the documents and receiving arrangements before dispatch.

Yes. Businesses can arrange a single pallet, occasional consignments or regular freight without a credit account or minimum shipment volume. Provide the goods, route and timing requirements so the team can compare the practical air or sea options for the shipment.

The receiver should confirm its import arrangements, required documents or payments, a current contact name and telephone number, and suitable access and unloading facilities. For port-based freight, it should also confirm who will arrange clearance, cargo release and onward transport. Resolve these points before the goods leave the sender.
