How consolidation works
Freight consolidation, or transhipment, combines multiple orders into single consigned shipments. Smaller consignments share space on one vehicle, so you can take advantage of bulk transportation rates, save time and conserve resources.
Nominated Delivery Days
Deliveries are made according to the Nominated Delivery Days (NDDs) set for each depot, and the lead times for each area are detailed in our NDD schedules. Together with you, we make sure your delivery points are aligned to our NDDs, so everyone knows when to expect stock.
