International Freight to Isles of Scilly

We are an established freight forwarding firm based in Essex that has the know-how to ensure that freight for the Isles of Scilly gets there on time and in good condition. Because the islands are about 28 miles from the mainland, any freight being despatched there by road will need to be sent onto a ferry at some point. Typically, we will arrange for your goods to be collected and then driven to Cornwall. From Penzance harbour, just off the A30, we will convey your freight onto a ferry to St Mary’s, the largest of the Scilly Isles.

From there, we can arrange for your freight to the Isles of Scilly to be delivered anywhere on St Mary’s – Maypole, Hugh Town, Little Porth or Old Town. Alternatively, if you require a door-to-door freight service to one of the other islands, such as Tresco or St Agnes, then we will take your goods there on a further ferry shipment. In short, we have it covered whenever you have a commercial consignment of goods that need to be sent anywhere on the Isles of Scilly.

Please bear in mind that our operations team always pays a great deal of attention to detail. This means that we constantly monitor our plans and chosen routes to see whether any changes would be appropriate, either to make the service cheaper or quicker. If we need to send drivers to Penzance via the A394, for example, because the other main route is slow, then this is what we will do. Indeed, because we monitor the progress of all of our drivers, we are able to provide our valued customers with updates, something that they can pass on to their clients on the Isles of Scilly, if they wish.

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.

Excellent service from start to finish. Simon at Barrington Freight handled our crate of mechanical machine parts from the UK to Canada with exceptional care, keeping us informed throughout. His Canadian agent also arranged customs clearance, making the entire process straightforward and stress-free. Highly recommended.

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!

We needed to get a shipment out to the USA quickly and Simon made the whole process far easier than we expected. 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.

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!

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.
