The on-board courier process

One dedicated courier keeps your shipment as accompanied hand luggage for the whole journey — UK check-in, the flight, US customs and the final drive — rather than handing it off between freight depots.

Route into North Texas

Departing from Heathrow, our couriers fly direct or via a single connection into Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), one of the world's busiest hubs, sitting just minutes from Arlington, so shipments reach the Metroplex within a single travel day.

What we carry into Arlington

Arlington's economy blends large-scale automotive manufacturing at the General Motors Arlington plant with a major entertainment and events sector around AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, and we regularly hand-carry line-stop automotive parts, urgent AV and events equipment, and time-critical legal or contract documents.

Customs and clearance

Full commercial documentation travels with the courier, and we coordinate with a US customs broker for formal clearance where needed, moving your shipment directly from DFW to your Arlington address.
