Saving International Shipper's Money: The Power of UK "Last Mile" Port Delivery

For international companies shipping goods into the UK, the final leg of the journey—known as the "last mile delivery"—is often the most expensive and least efficient part of their supply chain. Traditional global freight forwarders typically charge premium rates for that final UK delivery from the port to the end customer's door.

By partnering with a local UK same-day courier specialist like HG Same Day Courier for the final distribution, international shippers can save significant costs and gain greater control.

The "Last Mile" Problem for International Freight

When your consignment (be it a single pallet or multiple items) lands at a UK port like

Southampton

Felixstowe

Poole Harbour you are faced with a choice:

1. Use the Freight Forwarder's Partner: Often expensive, inflexible on timing, and can involve multiple depot handovers, increasing the risk of damage.

   
   

2. Use a UK "Last Mile" Specialist: A local expert that provides a dedicated vehicle, direct delivery, and transparent pricing.
