Weekly ‘Parcel 2 Go’ U.K Air-Freight Service Now Departing Manchester
London Heathrow is a bottle-neck and faces increasing issues with passenger numbers impinging on cargo loadings.
Despite having a permanent booking LON-CHC these ‘big city’ issues have plagued our Parcel 2 Go Air-Freight service of late.
So effective November 2018 our weekly U.K Air-Freight Service now comes out of Manchester.
And it’s working!
The cut-off at supplier’s door to make the Saturday flight ex Manchester is a now a Thursday afternoon.
Arriving Christchurch midday Tuesday.
As always please continue to inform us of all orders so we can liaise Uniexpress.

Pre-Christmas Backlogs ex U.K and Europe Strike Early
It’s not yet October and space/congestion ex Europe and U.K is already an issue.
There are currently backlogs at all major Asian tranship ports, over which containers from U.K/Europe transit.
No shipping-line is exempt.
The last thing we want to do is make rash decisions and ‘go out of the fry-pan and into the fire’ in the mistaken belief swapping bookings to a different shipping line will some-how get around the issue.
There is no way around overall demand exceeding supply.
We are all in the same boat, both figuratively and literally here.
Rest assured we’ll continue to work hard on your behalf, keep you informed as to where you stand.
Note: The situation tends to affect FCL bookings more than say LCL ones.
