Frequently asked questions

Does the Milton Keynes warehouse operate around the clock?

Yes, the Milton Keynes warehouse runs 24/7. We receive and release goods outside standard hours too, which matters for express deliveries and buffering before a slot at the consignee.

What is cross-docking and when is it useful?

Cross-docking is transshipment without storage: goods move straight from one vehicle to another on the way to the consignee. It cuts time and cost when a shipment travels on without warehousing, for example during consolidation or final delivery by a smaller vehicle.

Do you handle repack and palletisation?

Yes. We repack goods, straighten and rebuild pallets, wrap and prepare loads for onward transport or delivery to retail chains. We do this work in Milton Keynes and at the Kielce and Legnica bases.

Does the warehouse handle Amazon UK deliveries?

Yes. We prepare shipments for Amazon FBA requirements: labels, booking-in and compliance with delivery windows. We can buffer goods in Milton Keynes and send them to Amazon warehouses in batches.

Do you have temperature control and space for sensitive loads?

In Milton Keynes we have temperature-controlled space and the conditions to inspect and recover cargo after trailer tampering. We document the state of the goods with photos for the insurer.
