Is cheap freight good business?
Like most things in life, anyone can do things “cheap”. When it comes to cheap freight forwarding, as a company we decided in our early business plan that we didn’t want to be “cheap”.

Cheapest Cargo: What Barrington Freight can offer
Our services include road freight shipping, air freight shipping and sea freight shipping and all three modes of transport have a basic cost element. If something seems too good to be true in life, it often is. Many other freight forwarders may omit small “add on” charges like fuel surcharge, security fees, VAT and other charges that might make them look initially cheap but it will bump their quote up afterwards. At Barrington we always quote including ALL charges, we dislike surprises as much as you do!
So, “CHEAP”, what’s in a word?
To many, the word “cheap” means relatively low in cost or good value.
The word CHEAP can also mean –
- Achieved with little effort: a cheap victory; cheap laughs.
- Of considered of small value: in wartime, when life was cheap.
- Of poor quality; inferior: a cheap toy, cheap and nasty
- Worthy of no respect; vulgar or contemptible: a cheap gangster.
- Stingy; miserly.
- Worth relatively little: promises are cheap
- Ashamed; embarrassed: to feel cheap
- Tasteless; flashy; garish.
- Inferior, poor, worthless, second-rate, shoddy, tawdry, tatty, trashy, substandard, low-rent.
By definition, it seems that there are more BAD examples of CHEAP than GOOD.
Our promise to you is that we will give you value for money. We are not CHEAP, we want to be the BEST.

HAVING USED MANY SHIPPERS TO IMPORT OUR GOODS FROM THE USA (NONE OUTSTANDING) I DECIDED THIS TIME TO HAVE A SEARCH AROUND TO SEE IF I COULD FIND A BETTER OPTION. I FOUND BARRINGTON FREIGHT AFTER EMAILING MANY OTHERS, SOME OF THEM (UPS,DHL,FEDEX) SIMPLY TOOK SO LONG TO CONTACT ME, THAT IT BECAME STUPID, SIMON AT BARRINGTON CAME BACK TO ME VIRTUALLY STRAIGHT AWAY WITH A VERY GOOD PRICE, ALSO GOOD SHIPPING TIMES. NOW A SERVICE IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE RESULTS, AND THEY WERE AS GOOD AS THEIR WORD. HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND THEM AND SIMON AT BARRINGTON FREIGHT WILL BE THE FIRST PERSON WE GO TO NEXT TIME, WELL DONE!!

Brilliant EXW freight forwarding services from China to the UK. Professionally done, readily available for support, and our shipments were trackable. There were last minute issues on regards to customs clearance and redirecting of goods that we take responsibility for, but with their quick action, we were able to swiftly solve it all in much less than 24hrs. Fantastic experience working with Simon and his team, will continue to engage them for the foreseeable future. Thanks again Simon and the BF team!

What a superb company especially Simon Poole the agent who handled all my inquiries even worked over weekend to clear and arrange for my items to be removed from airline shed to save us storage charges Then when there were a little issue with the airline loosening items he dealt with it very quickly. We will only use him for our import Clearence’s now

I highly recommend Barrington freight. Simon could not do enough for me and as a first time user of freight services I was anxious. Simon guided me smoothly through the whole process from start to finish. I am beyond pleased with the service I was given.
