Specialist Delivery & International Freight Services

Highlander can provide specialist delivery services on next day or same day terms, our drivers can give you advanced warning of arrival and ensure we deliver to the correct destination and not just leave expensive goods in reception.

Our international freight services are second to none. We deliver the goods to your door step where some international freight companies will only deliver them to customs of the country, you would then have to arrange the forwarding of the items. The only involvement we need from yourselves in this process is to pay the local tax on the kit when it hits customs. Once this stage is complete our freight company will then deliver on to the destination address.
