Buying From Multiple UK Suppliers? We'll Bring It All Together.
Send your UK purchases to one address. We'll receive your deliveries, store your goods for up to 30 days free, prepare your consolidated shipment and arrange international door-to-door shipping.
One UK Address for All Your Suppliers
Buying goods from several UK suppliers for delivery overseas? Different suppliers often have different delivery dates, making it difficult to organise one international shipment. We give you a single UK receiving point, hold your goods as they arrive, then consolidate and prepare them for shipping.
UK Worldwide Forwarding (UKWF) gives you one place in Manchester to send everything. We receive deliveries as they arrive, hold your goods while you wait for the rest, then bring them together into a shipment ready for export. We can also arrange onward freight and coordinate the required shipping paperwork with our partners.
📥 UK Goods Receiving
Give your UK suppliers our receiving address. We'll accept your deliveries and keep track of the items arriving for your project.
🏬 Temporary UK Storage
We can hold suitable goods for up to 30 days free while your other orders arrive. Longer storage can be arranged and quoted where needed.
📦 Consolidation & Packing
When you're ready, we'll combine suitable goods, prepare pallets and secure the shipment for international transport.
📋 Export Paperwork
We'll help gather the shipment information and coordinate export documentation and customs arrangements with our freight partners.
🚚 International Freight
We arrange suitable international transport, including door-to-door freight options, based on your goods and destination.
🤝 One Point of Contact
Deal with UKWF for receiving, consolidation, shipment preparation and freight coordination, rather than managing each delivery separately.
30 Days of Free UK Storage
There's no need for every supplier to deliver on the same day. Send your goods to UKWF as they're ready, and we'll hold eligible items for up to 30 days while the rest of your project orders arrive.
Free storage is subject to agreed goods, volume and handling requirements. Any longer-term storage or specialist requirements will be quoted in advance.

UK Supplier Consolidation in Action: Shipping to Asia
Multiple UK Deliveries. One Coordinated Export Shipment.
We've supported a repeat customer sourcing equipment and supplies from different UK suppliers for projects in Thailand.
Deliveries arrived at UKWF over several weeks. We held the goods while the remaining orders came in, brought the items together, prepared wrapped pallets and coordinated international freight and shipping documentation.
What Can We Consolidate?
Our service is designed mainly for suitable non-hazardous commercial goods, equipment, furnishings, accessories and boxed supplies. We can discuss the size, weight and packing requirements before anything is delivered.
Every Project Is Different
Large, fragile, unusually heavy or restricted items may need special arrangements. Please tell us what you're sending before asking suppliers to deliver. We can confirm whether we can handle it and prepare a suitable quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order from several different UK suppliers?
Yes. That's exactly what this service is for. Your suppliers can send eligible goods to our UK receiving address, even when deliveries arrive on different dates.
How long can you hold my goods?
We offer up to 30 days of free storage for eligible project shipments, subject to agreed volume and handling requirements. Longer storage can be discussed and quoted.
Do you build pallets for international shipping?
Yes. We can consolidate suitable goods and prepare secure palletised shipments. Packing requirements depend on the type, size and weight of the goods.
Can you arrange delivery to my overseas address?
We can coordinate international freight with our logistics partners, including door-to-door options where available. We'll quote based on the destination, shipment size and delivery requirements.
Can you help with export and customs paperwork?
Yes. We'll help collect the information needed for shipping and coordinate export documentation and customs arrangements with the relevant freight and customs partners. Import duties, taxes and destination-country requirements may still apply.
How much does supplier consolidation and shipping cost?
We provide individual quotes because projects vary. Pricing can include receiving and handling, pallet preparation, storage beyond any free period, documentation coordination and international freight.
Is this the same as ordinary parcel forwarding?
No. This service is intended for larger or more involved shipments where goods from several suppliers need to be received, held and prepared together, often on pallets. For smaller personal shopping parcels, see our parcel consolidation service .
Do I need to arrange my own freight forwarder?
No. UKWF can coordinate international freight through our logistics partners as part of your project shipment. If you already have a preferred freight forwarder, we can also discuss preparing the goods for collection.
