What is groupage?

Groupage is the consolidation of multiple compatible shipments to fill a truck with cargo for transport via road freight or sea freight to offshore islands such as Mallorca, Ibiza, Jersey, and Guernsey in a shipping container. This collating shipment provides a more economical method of freighting goods.

Does groupage freight take a long time?

Barrington Freight ships groupage daily, providing a speedy, cost-effective delivery option throughout Europe and can be either express (times vary depending on exact destination) or economy.

We don’t have a forklift or access to a large truck – can you help?

Many of our smaller vehicles have tail lifts for lifting and lowering goods. Simply advise us of this requirement when you book your collection.

Are my goods more likely to get damaged via groupage?

We are proud of our low insurance claim record, and many of our international vehicles are double-decked, so most pallets are not double stacked.

Can I track my shipment when it ships as groupage?

Every consignment is tracked by our operations centre so we can advise our clients about the shipment location at any point. We can also provide details of our delivery agents on request to liaise directly with them.

Fantastic service from Barrington Freight. It was our first time exporting goods from the UK and it was very reassuring to have them manage the shipment. The process was made easy and hassle free and Simon was always quick to respond to any queries. I would highly recommend.

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!!
