At Barrington Freight, we have years of experience in international shipments behind us including numerous exports to Illinois. One of the USA’s major manufacturing centres, this state is one where many UK exporters would like to attract more customers. However, their track record of exporting goods like electronic products and automotive parts often lets them down and clients in Illinois sometimes fail to place repeat orders. However, with our operation team’s expertise behind you, it is much easier to offer reliable shipments to this part of the United States. Just ask us for a free quotation and an estimated delivery schedule for your next consignment to Illinois.

Equally, our service with exports to Illinois is ideal for companies based in the UK that have never sold goods to the US before. If you have had a sales enquiry from a firm based in Illinois and are unsure how to price up the freight aspect of your cargo, then turn to us. We’ll provide you with an accurate cost that you can pass on to your prospective client, helping you to seal the deal and make a sale. Please note that our service involves the collection of your consignment from your production facility or distribution centre as well as trans-Atlantic shipment. In addition, it is worth noting that we offer air freight and express courier services throughout the state as well as containerised transport.

exporting from illinois (and the other way too)

As professional freight forwarders, our operations team is on hand to make sure your goods get to where they are needed anywhere in Illinois. Although many shipments to this part of the US will be bound for Chicago and its suburbs, such as Schaumburg or Naperville, we can arrange for door-to-door deliveries to places in central and southern parts of Illinois, too, like Marion, Mount Vernon or Springfield, for example. By combining our international experience with our local know-how, UK exporters can streamline all of their delivery operations to Illinois overnight.

Make Your Exportation Process to Illinois More Cost-Effective

Thanks to our many contacts in the trans-Atlantic shipping trade and logistical operators in the US, we are often able to beat competitors on pricing. Coupled with our professional membership of the British International Freight Association, this makes our service of high quality as well as offering value for money. If you ask a logistical firm in Illinois to handle your shipment to a customer in the state for you, then you are likely to pay much more than you otherwise would by turning to us. 

Based in Essex, we’ll manage your delivery at every step of the way, offering you regular updates on progress. We’ll route your shipment to Illinois in the most cost-effective manner, as well. Sometimes, this will mean using a container port in New York and New Jersey but it may also mean opting for a port on the Great Lakes. Whichever option is best for your business priorities will be taken.

We are friendly, easy to work with, honest and we do not charge the earth.

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.
