Fast, Reliable Media Logistics Across the UK and Europe

A delivery firm that gives props, documents, products or rare film memorabilia the respect and urgency they deserve. The same day, next day or 72-hour film equipment courier who can move backdrop kits across London or a complete film set across Europe.

You understand the challenge of urgently needed film & media shipping only too well. A stylist who’s set dressing in Frankfurt urgently needs product from London. Your commercial is about to be filmed in Cannes, but a special prop is in Paris. And when everything’s ‘in the can’, who’ll bring everything home?

Whatever your film or media logistics challenge, reputations are at stake – including yours. Not to mention the cost and delay of having actors, film crews and valuable props standing idle when they should be working. That’s when our dedicated vehicles and crews, speeding across Europe with your time-critical consignments, become the overnight stars of your production.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic experience importing our goods from Florida and honestly couldn’t fault the service. The quote was quick and easy, booking was straightforward and everything was handled smoothly from start to finish.

As this was our first import we needed a bit of guidance along the way but Simon was brilliant. He took care of everything, kept us updated throughout and was always on hand to answer our questions. What seemed like a complicated process was made incredibly simple and stress free.

The customer service was excellent, communication was spot on and our shipment arrived without any issues. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable freight forwarder. Thanks again for making our first import such a positive experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a time-critical air freight shipment coming in from China to the UK and Simon was a huge help in getting it over the line.

Right before arrival, an issue came up due to a mistake from the airline, which could have turned into a real headache. Simon picked it up straight away, dealt with it quickly and managed to sort everything without any extra costs on our side.

Really solid support throughout and easy to deal with, especially given the urgency. Another great job by Barrington Freight - we’ll definitely be using them again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good service during a turbulent global shipping period. Special thanks goes to Lee for his efficiency and proactive updates and for rescheduling a delivery in less than 24hrs when the haulage company didn’t read their own paperwork and sent a lorry without the requested tail lift. Highly recommended.
