Shipping pallets to Spain? This is how Barrington Freight can help
Moving freight to Spain doesn’t have to be a hassle
As a freight forwarding business, Barrington Freight tends to help British exporters with their logistical operations in Western Europe and much of the rest of the world, too. In addition, as members of the British International Freight Association, they are ideally placed to help Spanish customers of palletised goods to receive their orders from UK-based companies anywhere in the country, offering palletised delivery services to Zaragoza, Barcelona, Madrid, Gibraltar, Seville and, of course, to Murcia, as well.
In fact, when sending a pallet to Spain, Barrington Freight don’t just deal with the major urban population centres. If you need to get your pallet to somewhere close to the city of Murcia, such as El Palmar, Las Torres de Cotillas or Santomera, for example, they are experts throughout the entire Murcian region from Yecla in the north to Águilas in the south.
How does logistical expertise help when sending a pallet to Spain from the UK?
Customs issues handled professionally
To begin with, Barrington Freight offers customs clearance brokerage as well as freight forwarding services. This is done in-house without subcontracting this technical work, which means they can stay on top of everything. All commercial goods being sent by pallet to Spain must be declared online with HMRC.
They’ll make sure your British supplier has the required EORI registration and confirm their commodity coding for you. They are well-versed in all EU importation rules and can ensure your order isn’t held up when it enters the single market customs union. No Spanish businesses – whether they’re run by Brits or not – want to sort out problems with customs paperwork for a few pallets of goods.
Express Courier Services for urgent pallet orders
With a two-driver team, you can ask Barrington Freight to collect your pallet directly from your supplier. Thanks to an extensive driver network in the UK, your order can be on the road within a matter of hours. Sending a pallet to Spain this way will usually mean crossing the English Channel on a suitable ferry service or sending a van through the tunnel at Folkestone.
From there, your two-driver team will be able to share the driving load, allowing for the mandatory breaks behind the wheel to occur without delaying your shipment. Express deliveries to Murcia will typically mean driving down the A-75 in France and picking up the E-15 once the Pyrenees have been crossed.
Cost-effective groupage delivery services to Spain
If your order isn’t urgent, then it will be grouped with others bound for southern Spain, which is a great way to get a pallet to Spain with exceptional value for money. Loading your pallet onto a lorry for Plymouth or Portsmouth will mean it makes landfall in northern Spain and then be sent on to you along with other consignments destined for the same region. Of course, it takes a little longer with this option but the cost-benefits mean that it has become a very popular service among Murcian businesses these days.
