 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barrington Freight handled our first import from China and made a complicated job feel simple. Simon Poole guided us through the customs paperwork, postponed VAT and commodity codes patiently, answering a great many questions from someone importing for the first time. Our delivery address is a narrow street with no forklift, and he arranged a smaller vehicle with a tail-lift so the crates could be offloaded by hand without difficulty. The shipment cleared ahead of schedule and, once we'd paid, delivery was arranged for the very next day with a time window confirmed in advance. Excellent communication throughout and genuinely helpful. Highly recommended.

 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!

Communication was straightforward, we were kept updated throughout, and everything arrived on time without any issues. It's refreshing to deal with someone who knows exactly what they're doing and gets things done. We'd happily use Simon again for future air freight shipments.

 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.

ATA CARNETS FOR EXHIBITION SHIPMENTS

For international exhibition freight, we strongly recommend the use of an ATA Carnet. Carnets simplify temporary exports and imports, allowing goods to move across borders without paying duties or taxes, provided they are returned within the specified timeframe.

We advise using an ATA Carnet for both export and import exhibition shipments. This applies to trade shows, touring exhibitions, and multi-country events. Our team can assist with carnet guidance and ensure all documentation is completed correctly. This reduces delays and avoids unexpected customs charges.

Proper documentation is one of the most critical elements of successful exhibition logistics, and we ensure every shipment is fully compliant.

MANAGING MULTI-LOCATION AND INTERNATIONAL EVENTS

Exhibitions often move between cities or countries. We have experience coordinating complex exhibition logistics programmes involving multiple collection points and international routing.

Whether you are exhibiting across Europe or running events across continents, we can:

Collect goods from multiple UK or European locations
Consolidate exhibition freight efficiently
Manage transatlantic shipments
Coordinate venue delivery slots
Arrange post-event returns or onward movements

We’ve previously managed exhibition movements from the UK to the USA, onward to Europe, and back to the UK, demonstrating our ability to oversee full-cycle event logistics on both small and large scales. Our proactive planning ensures that even multi-stage exhibition freight programmes run smoothly.
