How fast can you move urgent air cargo?

If you have an urgent shipment, contact us as soon as possible. We can usually quote and mobilise within a matter of hours – depending on cutoffs and capacity. We’ll give you a clear picture of the options available with transit and cost trade‑offs. Our team can also manage customs clearance and handling to minimise bottlenecks and give you a single point of contact.

Can you handle multi‑leg, multi‑mode moves?

Yes. At CECL, we specialise in end-to-end planning incorporating air, sea, road, and storage as needed to get your goods where they need to be, on budget and on time. We manage every aspect from hand‑offs to schedules and documents, so you only have one thread of communication to follow. You’ll hear from us with proactive updates at every milestone or handoff point.

Do you offer storage and distribution?

Yes, we offer a comprehensive range of storage options, including short/long‑term warehousing, devanning, re‑palletisation, and pick‑and‑pack. We can prepare pallets to your customer’s specifications and arrange accurately timed deliveries to match recipient availability and minimise offloading delays.

What locations do you cover?

Our area of operations is UK‑wide at origin and destination, with global partner networks for linehaul. Tell us your preferred lanes, and we’ll confirm service levels and routings – and recommend alternatives if we can identify a better option. We’ll also recommend the best gateways to strike the right balance between time, cost, and reliability, depending on the nature and urgency of your planned shipment.

Can you manage returns?

Yes, we’re able to assist with reverse logistics, including collections, consolidation, and re‑export. Our experienced team can handle all the necessary documentation and coordinate any inspections required on return. We can also provide reporting to help you track reason codes, timelines, and cost recovery.
