International Forwarding 
Whether it is assistance in obtaining an export license,  or negotiating a complex letter of credit,  or perhaps meeting a particular consular requirement,  our expert staff can assist with all aspects of documentation involved in moving merchandise from production line to any destination world-wide.  Drop shipments of foreign origin to other foreign destination are not problem. 

Immediate issue of certified shipping documentation is a priority for our traffic department who monitor the progress and status of consignments;  any changes that could affect intact or timely delivery are immediately relayed to our clients. 

Air Freight & Charter 
Our Air Freight Division arranges for the immediate dispatch of urgent cargoes to overseas destinations;  upon arrival,  our world-wide network of agents provide prompt transfer,  customs clearance and delivery of priority freight. 
  

Air Freight Consolidation 
When deadlines permit,  we can consolidate you consignments giving the opportunity to make substantial savings over direct movement,  with minimal time penalty. 

Ocean Freight 
Mach 2 provides LCL freight movements to most foreign ports thereby eliminating the need to deal with several different carriers by providing just a single party responsible for the entire movement.  Significant savings are often achieved without sacrificing delivery time. 

Custom Brokers 
Our specialists in international shipping documentation prepare all paperwork necessary to move cargo from importing carrier to ultimate consignee.  We keep abreast of Customs and Department of Trade regulations to ensure correct classification of goods in compliance with applicable laws. 

Insurance Brokers 
We have a qualified team on hand to discuss your insurance requirements,  from the often complicated details of marine policies to more general transportation cover. 

Warehouse Operations
Utilising our own or designated warehouses at most locations we can facilitate storage,  breakbulk and transloading of inbound,  domestic and export freight.  We can also provide tailored fulfillment services for targeted goods distribution. We operate a large MCA approved pharmaceutical store near Felixstowe and all our warehouses operate within the MCA's Guidelines on Good Distribution Practice for Medicinal Products.  H M Customs ERTS 'bonded' facilities enhance our ability to ensure total control of inbound freight.

Trailer Services
Through our hand-picked network of specialist trailer operator partners,  we are able to offer a competitively priced and quality assured route to European destinations served by road groupage services.

Courier Services
The small parcel sector plays an increasingly vital part in today's global markets.  The optimum speed of dedicated couriers can prove invaluable in certain situations.  Door-to-door,  hand carried,  next-flight out... whatever your particular requirements,  we can deliver.

Packing Services
A variety of options are available for exporters with special packing requirements.  We can arrange on-site services for relocation of office or home,  air freight packing in strict accordance with IATA's Dangerous Goods safety regulations and sea freight packing to comply with most stringent of environmental governing transportation to certain countries.  Where necessary we can supply timber treatment certificates for sea freight shipments.
  

Tailored Solutions 
At Mach 2 we enjoy a challenge;  we not only handle routine shipments,  but also take pride in our ability to manage projects that require special action and innovative thinking.  We believe our flexibility and resources pay dividends in solving logistical problems and our clients agree. 

We have proven success in the field of project management.  Our level of experience can prove beneficial at the planning stages of a project.  A call to us early on can save a lot of time,  money and effort,  and keep stress levels to a minimum.  Our adaptable staff are on hand to make certain that all runs smoothly,  whatever the situation. 
  

One of our most challenging clients is a major international bank for whom we have managed a number of large scale projects. We relocated an entire data centre floor from the New York City skyscraper that housed it to a new site in London.  Another challenge was relocating a purpose-built three-story data centre from Brussels to London,  whilst maintaining full operational functionality.  Part of our solution was the provision of dedicated on board couriers three times a week for four months.  For the same client we also assist with the project movement of their equipment for new offices in Eastern Europe and Africa. 

In the centennial year of the Hotel Ritz in Madrid we organised the shipping of an extremely rare Hispano Suiza Alfonso XIV from Western Australia via London to Madrid to participate in the celebratory Hotel Ritz Rally,  and exclusive event for owners of these highly-prized historic vintage sports cars.

For a major pharmaceutical client, we recently arranged the project movement of a fragile pharmaceutical processing facility to India including project delivery on site.
