We are a UK registered Freight Forwarder with a global reach, offering comprehensive solutions to meet your logistical needs.
Our services are designed to maximise efficiency and establish reliable delivery of your goods, no matter the obstacle.
Backed by cutting edge I.T. solutions, we provide end-to-end visibility in an industry that historically has always been cloudy, thus ensuring that you and your customers receive the best possible services available.
Trust in us to manage your freight with precision and care, delivering tailored options that align with your business strategy.
With our wealth of experience in Freight Forwarding, we specialise in sea freight services. Our principle is that a customised approach is essential; there is no universal solution.
We are independent, and therefore, not restricted to a single carrier. Our extensive network of agents around the world is as diverse as it is co-ordinated, to deliver the best market rates and services available, enabling you to evaluate your options before making a commitment.
Whether importing or exporting, full container loads, or less than container loads, temperature-controlled goods or hazardous cargo - Merlin Oscar is experienced and able to handle any requirement.
We provide a container consolidation service for customers who export; and for our overseas clients importing goods into the United Kingdom, we offer secure warehousing to de-van their containers ready to distribute to the market place.
For those urgent shipments, when time is of the essence, only air-freight will suffice. It is important for us to remember that air-freight is the costliest transport option, and therefore our customers expect the most reliable and efficient service for their money.
IATA services come as standard, utilising leading airlines for reliable connections to all major airports around the world.
Direct services, charter services, consolidation services, next flight out services are all provided by Merlin Oscar, as well as specific requirements like door-to-door, temperature control, dry-ice and vehicle re-locations.
We source both passenger and dedicated cargo aircraft, depending on the complexity of the assignment - passenger aircraft for smaller, lighter shipments; cargo aircraft for more heavier, ad-hoc shipments.
One of the biggest advantages of road freight is delivering door-to-door, or to a precise location. We can effortlessly arrange to collect from one warehouse and deliver to another, or direct to the end customer.
From anywhere to anywhere, we take advantage of the services provided by some of the biggest and well-known domestic and international hauliers, as well as the independent smaller provider. This results in an un-matched solution for your UK and European distribution needs.
We have partnered with the best customs-brokers and have contacts on-hand throughout Europe to assist with the formalities of keeping your goods moving across International borders.
Our same-day / next-day UK distribution service is reliable and robust, providing 24hour/48hour delivery, guaranteed if necessary. Together with a national and international dedicated vehicle service and driver accompanied service, we are committed to ensuring consignments make it to their destination as quickly as possible.
If you are looking for secure, cost-effective warehousing and logistics solutions, we currently operate from three strategic locations, each offering unique tailored services to align with your business model.
Our pick and pack service uses an innovative and robust warehouse system that takes care of all stock management for you, so you can focus on what matters most to your business. The warehouse is centrally located in the UK, close to the A14 and M1/M6 corridors, providing excellent access for the efficient distribution of your goods.
Warehouse number two, located just outside the M25 in Essex, handles consolidations and container loading/unloading. We can liaise directly with your suppliers and be as much involved in your supply chain as you want us to be. Our container services handles not only palletised goods, but loose items as well. Whether you have regular, on-going devanning requirements or a one-off container, Merlin Oscar will handle the process in the most cost-effective manner, while prioritising the safety of your goods and our employees.
For short-term/long-term pallet storage, we have partnered with one of the major players in the West Midlands, offering over 150,000 sq/ft capacity. Fully equipped, providing all the facilities you would expect, this secure state of the art facility is ideally placed to work with clients of all sizes throughout the United Kingdom and Europe.
Merlin Oscar has access to a wide variety of quality courier services, including the likes of DHL, UPS and TNT to name but a few.
We can offer massive savings of up to 70% on standard tariff prices to many domestic and international destinations throughout the world.
Marry this together with exceptional customer support, you can rest assured we will have your best interests at heart when dealing with the admin side of the process.
