it ships with us.

Two questions, no form to fill in. If the honest answer is a cheaper service than you expected, that is what this will say.

See this service→Six services. One custody standard.
Every consignment is sealed at collection, signed at each handover and released against verified identity. What changes between services is the handling around that spine.

Learn moreFour stages. Every one leaves a document.
Custody is the product. What you see when you track a reference is simply the paperwork each stage generates.
Survey & quote
We assess the item, the route and the risk, then issue a written quote stating the handling plan and the insured value.
Sealed collection
Two crew attend. The item is inspected, photographed, sealed with a numbered tamper-evident seal and logged to your reference.
Documented transit
Every handover is signed and timestamped. The seal number travels with the item, so any break in the chain is visible.
Verified release
Released only to a named recipient against photographic identity. The signed release note closes the record.
Most losses happen on the road.
Loss data reported to industry intelligence systems has consistently attributed the large majority of cargo theft to attacks on vehicles in transit rather than on secure facilities. The exposed part of almost every movement is the leg between the two secure ends — so that is where our controls concentrate.
- Vetted, background-screened crews on every movement
- Route planning with no advance disclosure of timings
- Two-person rule — no single point of custody
- Secure overnight lodgement, never roadside parking

The questions we get asked most.
Cover is arranged against the value you declare at quotation and confirmed in writing before collection. A certificate naming the underwriter is issued on request. If the declared value changes before collection, tell us — cover follows the declaration, not the invoice.
From the rate agreed in your storage contract, applied to elapsed time from receipt, less any grace period. Charges are billed in arrears against a numbered invoice. The balance in your portal is invoices issued less payments received — never an estimate.
Only a signatory named on the account, in writing, and only against photographic identity checked at release. We won’t release against an email alone, and we won’t accept a change of recipient by phone. This is deliberately inflexible.
Yes, and we publish the list. Some items need extra paperwork rather than a refusal — lithium batteries, CITES material, cultural property. Others are refused outright, including anything we’re asked not to document accurately. See our restricted items page.
