What makes Shippo a reliable shipping company? From the services we offer to our accessible technology and the way we are with customers. You will never find a more transparent, hands-on shipping partner. Or so our customers tell us. Thinking about working with us? Well, here are some reasons why…
What Makes Shippo A Reliable Shipping Company?
Flexible Shipping Solutions
When it comes to getting goods from A to B (B being the UK), our services offer a range of solutions. Unlike other shipping companies, we specialise in LCL shipping, FCL shipping, store & replenish solutions, and marine insurance. Our rounded services reflect our comprehensive expertise.
LCL Shipping Service
From start to finish, we manage your shipment. Here is a run-through of our hands-on LCL shipping service-
- We have local overseas agents who will contact your supplier to arrange what ship they will catch.
- Your goods will then be collected and delivered to a warehouse near the port of origin, where they will be loaded into a shared container and sealed.
- They will then be taken to port, loaded onto the container ship, ready to set sail to the UK.
- Once arrived in the UK, we oversee the unloading of your container, which is then brought to a local warehouse to be unpacked.
- We will then declare your goods to UK customs.
- When approved, we will issue your invoice, once paid we will arrange a delivery to your location.
FCL Shipping Service
For FCL shipping services, your goods do not require packing in a shared container or unpacking at a warehouse upon arrival in the UK. The process is more streamlined, as it is only your goods in the shipment.
We will advise on whether we think FCL or LCL shipping would better suit your business, based on what is cost-effective for your business and the volume of goods you are shipping.
Store & Replenish Solution
If you are struggling with space to store your goods or Amazon hasn’t allocated you enough space, don’t sweat it. We’re here to help.
You can utilise our storage space. Whatever surplus of import stock you have, you can check in with us. We can then palletise your goods to Amazon’s standards or label them and hand them to UPS.

Marine Insurance
Upon your request, we can arrange marine insurance for your shipment with our broker. Our handlers are skilled and trained to move your shipment with immense care. While we promise to look after your shipment as if it were our own, risk management for your shipment is still important to consider.
We want to make the process of shipping your goods internationally as stress-free as possible. By assisting you with sorting insurance coverage, we hope it provides you some peace of mind.
Advanced Technology
From our online duty and VAT estimator to a live shipment tracker, our customer-used technologies are there to make our service as smooth for you as possible.
Our tracking systems mean that we can offer live updates throughout the shipping process. While other freight forwarders do not offer this service, we don’t want you to at any point feel a need to chase us for answers or be in the dark.
We have systems in place so all you need to do is tell us your supplier’s name and be there to accept your delivery at the end of the process!
Transparency & Cost Effectiveness
When working with Shippo, you never need to be concerned about the hidden costs of shipping from China to the UK. While our quotes may initially seem steeper than our competitors, that’s because we detail all potential charges to your shipment, so there are no surprises.
On top of this, we also offer complimentary extra services, such as clearing customs on your behalf. When you ship with other companies, it is likely this is either something you must manage on your own or pay an additional fee for their intervention.
We offer this as a courtesy and will even fill in any relevant forms that apply to your shipment. It wasn’t a joke; we really do have it all covered!
Exceptional Customer Support
One of the top qualities we pride ourselves on is our exceptional customer support. Our service isn’t just about moving your goods, we want to help.
We will go above and beyond for our customers, whether that is whilst handling their shipment or giving direct business advice. If your business thrives, we want to believe that we played a part in making that happen.
And our support extends beyond only our customers. Our advice is free. We give advice to small business owners every day at no charge. By regularly updating our blog, we offer how-to guides, business tips, and anything else you might need to know about importing to the UK.
Positive Industry Reputation
It’s all well and good hearing from us about what makes Shippo a reliable shipping company, but of course we back ourselves. Our testimonials are a true reflection of our commitment to our customers.
