International Special Express Service
Absolutely’s International Special Express Service is designed specifically for delivering unusual or difficult freight across the globe – while negotiating through the often Byzantine local customs controls and regulations on the way. We provide specialists teams to help you plan your delivery and navigate through the forms and documentation required.
Elephants, zebras and a T-Rex
At Absolutely we’ve worked in all kinds of sectors and dealt with many tricky situations. So it’s become second nature to handle unusual shipments. Dealing with the wild and quirky, has allowed us to provide bespoke solutions that can fit any requirement.
An elephant to Los Angeles, an exhibition stand overnight to Cannes or key factory parts to the other side of the world, our International Special Express Service is more than capable of handling any large item or difficult freight.
