Door to Door Delievery
RF Shipping & Logistics is a company which was set up 15 years ago for the express purpose of providing for the secure and dependable transportation of antiques, rare books, and works of art. Our experience and knowledge of such items, including how they are traded and stored, allows us to offer a peerless bespoke service to collectors, dealers and agents.
In a world in which the amount of goods shipped internationally continues to grow year on year, guaranteeing the safe delivery of one particular package among the many is becoming increasingly difficult. When the consignment in question includes irreplaceable items – such as artworks or antiques – it is vital to spare no effort in ensuring that the items arrive at their destination promptly and in the same condition as when they were sent.
The process of arranging the international shipping of antiques can be daunting for anyone who has never done it before, but RF Shipping & Logistics can help at each step of the way. Our services range from the practical aspects of the operation like packing and delivery, to paperwork including export license applications, to premium collection. The location of our warehouse was chosen in order to give us optimal access to the facilities for air and sea freight UK dealers use for their trade. Likewise, we are ideally situated in relation to many of London’s main auction houses.
In order to maintain our high standards of service, we use the most reliable and secure channels when dealing with air or sea freight, and local deliveries around the world. We operate our own vehicles for national shipping, with trained antiques handlers who can show your items the care and respect they deserve. Our staff can deliver throughout the UK, with warehousing services also available. Contact our team to learn more.
