What does a freight and logistics company actually do?
A freight forwarder arranges and manages the movement of your goods from
supplier to destination, and takes responsibility for the parts that go wrong.
That means booking the carrier, consolidating cargo, preparing export and import
documentation, clearing customs, arranging inland haulage, and dealing with
delays, inspections and demurrage on your behalf. You get one point of contact
instead of five separate suppliers.

How do you choose a UK freight forwarder?
Ask four questions. Do they handle your specific lane regularly? Will they
quote the all-in landed cost including duty and VAT, or just the freight leg? Who
actually answers when a container is held at the port? And can they show you real
data about the routes and ports they are recommending?
Why the last question matters
Most forwarders cannot. Carrgo publishes live congestion health scores for 17 UK
and Ireland ports, a
freight cost calculator and a
port comparison tool, so routing advice is
checkable rather than asserted.
What is the difference between freight forwarding and shipping?
A shipping line or airline owns the vessel or aircraft and moves the box. A
freight forwarder buys that capacity on your behalf and manages everything around
it: documentation, customs, consolidation, insurance and inland delivery. Carriers
move cargo; forwarders make shipments happen.
Who does Carrgo work with?
UK importers and exporters, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers,
ecommerce and Amazon sellers, procurement and logistics managers, and businesses
importing for the first time who need the process explained rather than assumed.
We handle sectors from ecommerce and
automotive to
construction.
How do you get started?
Send the origin, destination, what the goods are, and the weight and dimensions.
That is enough for a quote. If you do not have final dimensions yet, an estimate is
fine to start. Request a quote or
contact the team.
What do freight shippers do?
Freight shippers are the businesses that send goods — the importers,
exporters, manufacturers and sellers — and the forwarders who move the cargo for
them. Carrgo acts on the shipper's behalf: booking capacity, preparing
documentation, clearing customs and arranging delivery, so the shipper deals
with one team rather than several suppliers.
How does a cargo delivery service work?
A cargo delivery service moves freight from one point to another and manages
the steps in between — collection, the main sea or air leg, customs and final
delivery. Carrgo's cargo delivery runs door to door or port to port, with the
mode chosen on cost and urgency. Door-to-door
delivery is the fully managed option.
What is cargo logistics?
Cargo logistics is the planning and management of how freight moves — choosing
the route and mode, coordinating carriers, handling customs and tracking the
shipment to delivery. Good cargo logistics removes the friction between
suppliers, carriers and customs so goods arrive predictably. It is the core of
what a freight forwarder like Carrgo does.
Cargo transport options: sea, air, road and rail
Cargo transport by sea suits heavy, non-urgent volume; air suits urgent,
high-value or perishable freight; road serves European lanes; and rail offers a
middle ground on cost and speed for China to UK. Carrgo books all four modes —
see sea freight,
air freight,
road freight and
rail freight from China.
What are freight shipping services?
Freight shipping services cover the movement of goods by sea, air, road or
rail and the work around it: documentation, customs clearance, insurance and
delivery. A full-service forwarder bundles these so the shipper gets one price
and one point of responsibility. Carrgo's
freight and logistics services span all
four modes.
What is general freight?
General freight is ordinary commercial cargo that travels in a standard
container or on a standard pallet — no special temperature, size or hazard
requirements. It is the everyday work of freight forwarding. Carrgo moves general
freight alongside container
shipping, part loads and full loads.
