Furniture logistics at OTSL means transporting finished furniture and components across Europe, with a strong focus on the United Kingdom. We handle cargo that does not forgive dents or scratches: edge protection, no double-stacking where the producer forbids it, and booked delivery slots at the receiving end. UK customs clearance and our Milton Keynes warehouse for returns and repacking complete the chain.
What is hard about furniture
- High volume, low weight: loading space and a stowage plan matter more than tonnes.
- Delicate surfaces: lacquer, veneer and fabric do not tolerate shifting cargo.
- Fixed delivery windows: retail chains and marketplaces work on booking-in slots.
- Returns and damage: without a UK address every claim becomes a separate problem.
How we do it
- Vehicle matched to volume: from van to full trailer, including groupage (LTL) for smaller batches.
- Load securing: straps, anti-slip mats, edge protectors, no stacking on request.
- Booking-in at receivers, including UK retail distribution centres.
- Export and import clearance in our own customs agencies in Poland and the UK.
- Milton Keynes warehouse: returns intake, inspection with a photo report, repacking, re-dispatch.
Who it is for
