Despatch Point Ltd

Samba the Capybara who escaped from Marwell Zoo has been spotted in the back of our new electric Kia van!

We had a quick discussion about our new rate structures for this van before she made a quick dash again!

Hopefully she is found and returned safely to her sister soon 🐾

Please do enquire about our services available for this van and our other traditional options.

We would like to thank all of our staff for their service and customers for 2025, old and new. This was our best year yet and we are looking forward to 2026.

We are kick starting the year off by adding to our warehouse space and with the order of a new van after a successful demo this week.

Our UK and International Courier Service will have a wider range of carriers available to give customers more choice and with the usual integrations into our systems. The majority of carriers have updated their surcharges for 2026 and also the parameters that they apply to. We have been updating our systems behind the scenes to assist with these but please do ask us for any advice before shipping.

Our Air Freight service will continue to ship to many destinations worldwide. Our overseas agent list is growing in various countries to widen our network and these local agents can assist with any export/import shipments that may be needed. Let us know what your requirements are and we will find a solution, even if it is a hand carry or an air charter service.

Our Sea Freight service is a great option for customers who are looking to move larger shipments and when timescales aren’t so tight. We have seen a growing number of customers look at this as a viable option when ordering larger amounts of stock/equipment to ensure that they get the most for their money. We can arrange full container loads of all sizes and also consolidated services where required.

Our Dedicated Vehicle service within the UK and to/from Europe continues to grow. This is often the best option for goods that are time critical, high value or require less handling for various reasons. It can also work out more cost effective when taking everything into account. We arrange for all customs paperwork, transit documents and Carnets ourselves. A Carnet is still the best option for exhibition goods, concerts and filming as it does not require an importer on record in the destination countries and often saves time with less customs stops. This service isn’t just available for vans. We regular arrange for trucks of all shapes and sizes from a 7.5t Curtain side to Sliding Roof Trailers and even Low Deck Step Frame trailers to get around EU height restrictions.

Here are a few images from the past year. We look forward to working with you in 2026.
