Part-load shipping across the UK & Europe Sorted

Got freight too big for parcels but not a full trailer? Eurosonix makes part-load shipping simple and cost-effective across the UK and Europe, matching your pallets to the best routes.

With Eurosonix, you get more than just a vehicle. You get 24/7 support, real-time tracking and a team that looks after your shipment from collection to delivery – so you’re not wasting time chasing updates or comparing quotes from multiple carriers.

Stop overpaying for part-load freight

Many manufacturers, distributors and retailers end up paying full-load prices because it feels easier than shopping around for part-load options. Others piece together ad-hoc solutions – one carrier for the UK, another into Europe – and spend hours on the phone trying to keep track of it all.

Part-load shipping doesn’t have to be like that. When you work with a logistics provider that handles full loads, part loads, groupage and express road freight every day, you can:

Share trailer space and pay only for the metres or pallets you actually use
Tap into tried-and-tested international routes without managing them yourself
Reduce empty running and wasted capacity
Keep costs predictable while still hitting your delivery windows

That’s exactly what Eurosonix is set up to do – matching your shipment to the most efficient part-load solution we have available.

Why Choose Eurosonix?

How our part-load shipping service works

Tell us what you’re shipping
Share the collection and delivery points, preferred dates, and basic load details – such as number of pallets, approximate weight and any special handling or hazardous requirements. You can do this by phone or via the contact form.
We match you to the right solution
Our team looks across our network of vehicles and partners to find the best option: groupage, part load on a dedicated vehicle, or a different service such as pallet delivery or European express road freight if that’s a better fit.
Collection, consolidation and transit
We arrange collection from your site, consolidate your part load with compatible freight where appropriate, and manage the journey from door to door. Our operations team monitors progress and keeps you updated.
Delivery and proof of delivery
Once your goods arrive, we confirm delivery and provide proof of delivery, so you can keep your customers informed and close the loop quickly.

Part-load options that fit your shipment

Because Eurosonix works across a wide range of services, we can offer different ways to move your part loads:

Road groupage – cost-effective part-load transport where your pallets share space with other shipments on planned routes. Ideal for regular or non-urgent freight.
Express road part loads – faster road options for time-sensitive consignments where speed matters but you don’t need a full trailer to yourself.
Pallet network solutions – for palletised goods, we can route part loads through our UK & European pallet delivery services with tracking and guaranteed delivery schedules.
Integrated freight management – if part loads are just one piece of a larger logistics picture, our total freight management service can coordinate everything for you.

We’ll always be upfront about the pros and cons of each route, so you can choose the balance of cost and speed that works for your business.

Who our part-load logistics service is for

Our part-load shipping is used by a wide mix of organisations, including:

Businesses shipping high-value electronics and other sensitive goods that need reliable handling

Whether you’re shipping a single pallet every so often or arranging regular part loads as part of a wider distribution strategy, Eurosonix can help you keep everything coordinated.

Keeping control of your part-load shipments

When your freight is sharing space with other loads, visibility and communication matter even more. That’s why we:

Monitor consignments using the latest tracking systems
Know where each shipment is along its route at any given time
Keep you updated during the journey, not just when something goes wrong
Confirm safe delivery by text or email once your freight has arrived

If anything unexpected happens en route, you have a 24/7 team to speak to, not just a generic helpdesk. Customers tell us they appreciate having a partner who is proactive, easy to contact and genuinely invested in getting things right.

Part-Load Shipping FAQs

What is part-load shipping?

Part-load shipping is when your goods share a vehicle or container with freight from other companies. Instead of paying for a full trailer, you pay for the space you use (for example, a certain number of pallets or metres). It’s a cost-effective option when your shipment is too large for standard parcels but doesn’t fill a vehicle on its own.

What kind of freight can you move as a part load?

We handle a wide range of cargo, including palletised goods, crated items and other general freight. We can also arrange transport for hazardous cargo, subject to regulations and correct packaging. When you get in touch, just tell us what you’re shipping, and we’ll advise on the best solution.

Which destinations do you cover?

Eurosonix provides freight services throughout the UK, across Europe and to destinations worldwide. Many customers use part-load services for UK-to-Europe and Europe-to-UK traffic, but we can also integrate air and sea options for longer routes where this makes sense.

How is pricing for part-load shipping calculated

Part-load prices are usually based on the lane, the space and weight you occupy, the type of goods and the urgency of the shipment. Once we have your collection and delivery details, dimensions and timing, we’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote so you know exactly what you’ll pay.

Do you offer tracking and proof of delivery?

Yes. We use tracking technology to keep an eye on every shipment and we’ll keep you informed about progress. Once your part load has been delivered, we send proof of delivery so you can update your customer and close out your order internally.

Can you help if I need something there very quickly?

If your deadline is tight, we’ll look at faster options such as express road freight or other time-critical services. Part-load shipping can still work on urgent routes, but if another service would get your goods there more quickly or reliably, we’ll tell you so you can choose.

Where can I learn more about customs rules for part-load shipping?

For international part-load shipping, it’s important that your customs paperwork is accurate and complete. Official guidance on duties, VAT and border requirements is available on the UK Government website at
gov.uk – customs procedures and rules. If you’re unsure which documents you need, we can work with you and your customs broker to help keep your shipment moving smoothly.
