GCL Added-Value Services
Alongside our core Air and Sea Freight offering, we have built a selection of complementary services that add value to make our customers' lives easier.
​
From track and trace and insurance, to the specialist handling of hazardous materials, our friendly and experienced team are here to help organisations just like you.
LED Specialists
GCL, the preferred logistics partner for the LED industry, understands the audiovisual and systems integration sector inside out. Nearly all LED manufacturers are based in Shenzhen, and we provide expedited shipping utilising express truck & direct flights from Hong Kong to London Heathrow through our blocked space agreements with Cathay Pacific.
Our sea shipping options from Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou cater to the majority of LED manufacturers. Our adept team excels in managing tight project deadlines, and our specialised final mile delivery service ensures 24/7 direct deliveries to city centre stores, sports stadiums, and other locations with restricted access.
Insurance
As you should expect, every care and precaution is taken when handling your cargo. However, to give you peace of mind, cargo insurance can mitigate any concerns you have.
​
Through our partnership with 'The Insurance Broker', our friendly team can provide advice on specialist cargo insurance; which will cover your shipment up to its full value against accidental damage, fire & explosion, theft, piracy, heavy water sinking and grounding and stranding. We've got you and your consignment covered.
Aircraft Pallet Building & Breakdown
Don’t worry if you don't have a full pallet-load. We can add your goods on to our own aircraft pallet, for speedy departure.
And don't worry about your goods being held up unnecessarily. We provide fast breakdown of incoming aircraft pallets too, to ensure you receive your consignment without delay.
Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA)
We offer a full handling service for imports requiring Fulfilment by Amazon. Our team will make all arrangements for goods to be collected from your supplier’s factory and delivered to your allocated Amazon UK warehouse.
Let our dedicated team remove all the stress and hassle from the process.
Time Critical Shipping
We are highly experienced in handling time-sensitive shipments with solutions tailored to meet your deadlines.
​
Benefit from the 24/7 availability of logistics staff and our 30 years of experience of handling time-sensitive cargo, including: aircraft engines & components, temperature-controlled consignments, seasonal supply chain and JIT production supply.
Aero Engines
Aircraft engine transportation is a specialised operation,
requiring considerable experience and specialised equipment, due to the fragile and shock-sensitive nature of aero engines.
Our experience enables us to identify and coordinate the
differing transport requirements for each type of engine.
