Air freight, sea freight, dedicated UK and European road transport, and international express courier services for businesses. Part of Advanced Cargo Systems Ltd, established in 1994.
ACS Logistics Group brings together five specialist divisions of Advanced Cargo Systems Ltd.
We arrange freight and deliveries for manufacturers, engineering companies, importers, exporters and distributors. That includes one-off deliveries, regular shipments and urgent jobs where a customer needs an alternative to their usual service.
Each division specialises in its own service, so you can arrange different types of shipment through the same company.
If you are unsure which division to contact, the group team can help you get started.
Commercial air freight for UK imports and exports, including urgent components and planned overseas orders.
Explore Air Freight
Full-container and shared-container ocean shipping for imported stock, materials, machinery and export orders.
Explore Sea Freight
Dedicated vans and HGVs for direct UK deliveries, from urgent parts to pallets and larger loads.
Explore Same Day
Dedicated vans and trucks for shipments between the UK and Europe, and for journeys within Europe.
Explore European Transport
International courier services for business documents, samples and parcels, using established carrier networks.
Explore Global ExpressThe right service depends on where your goods are going, their size and weight, how they need to be handled and when they must arrive. A small shipment may need a dedicated vehicle, while an urgent delivery may be possible by road.
We can work through the options with you, including the collection and delivery arrangements at either end of the journey.
If a replacement part is needed at a factory or installation site, tell us when it must arrive. We look at the route, the size of the load and the deadline when discussing air freight or dedicated road transport.
For imported stock, the choice between air and sea freight depends on how much you are shipping and when you need it. We also consider handling and onward delivery from the airport or port.
For documents, samples and smaller parcels going overseas, we can compare international courier options against your delivery date. Larger or awkward items may need a freight service.
We can arrange the whole shipment or the parts you need help with: collection, air or sea freight, handling, customs support and final delivery. We plan the road transport and handling around the flight or sailing, as well as when the goods are ready and needed.
If your supplier or customer has already arranged part of the transport, tell us what is covered. We can discuss the remaining arrangements with you.
Our Same Day and European Transport divisions arrange dedicated vans and HGVs for commercial deliveries. We select the vehicle to suit your goods, the journey and the loading and unloading facilities at each address.
This includes urgent parts, palletised goods, machinery and larger loads. A factory delivery may need to fit around production, while equipment for an installation may need to arrive when the receiving team is available.
Contact us whether you have one shipment to arrange or deliveries to make throughout the year. For regular shipments, we discuss your routes, usual load sizes, how often you ship and any seasonal changes. This helps us plan around supplier collections, stock transfers and deliveries to your customers.
That includes jobs outside your usual shipping arrangements, such as an urgent order alongside planned stock deliveries.
Different shipments can use different services. Each enquiry goes to the division that handles that type of delivery.
More about international logisticsThe relevant division reviews your shipment details, discusses the available options and prepares your quotation. If you are unsure which service you need, contact the group team and we will help you choose.
If you have your shipment details ready, use the division’s quote form. If you would rather explain what you need first, you can call, email or use the general enquiry form.
Before you book, we explain the service and what the price includes. Collection, freight, handling, customs support and final delivery may involve several businesses, so you need to know which parts ACS will arrange.
We confirm these arrangements with you, including any parts your supplier or customer is handling. You can then check the quotation against what you need before deciding to go ahead.
Once you book, your ACS contact coordinates the shipment and keeps you informed as it progresses. That includes the collection, handling and delivery arrangements you have asked us to manage, alongside the journey by air, sea or road.
If the goods, dates or delivery instructions change, contact the team. We can review the arrangements with you and explain how the change affects the job.
