Where you want it ...
We also have a Nationwide delivery network that can deliver either express same day or reduce costs by consolidating your shipment and delivering over a two day period. The drivers distribute from local shops and delis to supermarket distribution centres. This, combined with our 5 Class A bonded storage depots located thought the UK, which hold both ambient and temperature controlled products, means that we can service your every need.

Historically, those wishing to transport small quantities of perishable products have been forced pay a premium for the privilege. As with most things in life, volume = discount, so by consolidating numerous pallets from other shippers we can drive prices down and pass on these reductions to our customers.

With Direct Food Express, our customers can send even the smallest and most delicate samples, safe in the knowledge that it will arrive within the given time and still in perfect condition. What's more, the cost of shipment will not break the bank, as the large quantities we handle mean that we can offer highly cost-effective rates, even on the notoriously expensive transatlantic routes.
