🚛 Groupage and Part Load transport doesn't have to mean compromising on service.

At Retail Transport Services, we know that Groupage and Part Load shipments can often have longer transit times than a dedicated vehicle.

But we don't believe that should mean less communication.

When your goods are sharing space on a vehicle, having visibility and regular updates becomes even more important. That's why we pride ourselves on providing a level of communication that feels far more personal.

📦 Regular updates
📞 Clear communication
🚚 Visibility throughout the journey
🤝 A team on hand when you need us

Our Groupage and Part Load services offer a cost-effective and reliable transport solution, without leaving you wondering where your goods are or what's happening with your delivery.

It may not always travel like a dedicated load…

But we believe the communication should feel dedicated.

Because regardless of the service you choose, keeping you informed is all part of the service.

Cost-effective transport. Reliable service. Dedicated communication.

Making Transport & Customs Simple

Why has Amazon been so successful?

Because it makes things easy.

A couple of clicks, your order is placed, you know what you're paying, and you know when it's arriving.

We believe transport and customs should be just as simple.

At Retail Transport Services Ltd, getting set up as a customer is straightforward. A couple of simple forms, a few details from you, and we can get to work.

From there, we can become your one-stop-shop for transport and customs clearance — taking away the hassle of managing multiple suppliers and giving you one dedicated contact from quote right through to delivery.

📞 One phone call.
📧 One quick email.
📍 One dedicated point of contact.
🚛 Transport managed.
🛃 Customs managed.
📦 Your goods kept moving.

And we'll keep you updated throughout the process — often before you even need to ask.

We understand that price matters. Sometimes the cheapest option will be the right option, and that's completely understandable.

But when you look beyond the headline price, what is the value of having an established freight forwarder who knows your business, is available when you need them and takes responsibility for the whole journey?

If there is a gap in cost, we'd like the opportunity to show you the value we can provide alongside competitive pricing.

After all, transport shouldn't be complicated.

You tell us what you need moving. We'll take care of the rest.

🚛 Keeping Your Goods Moving – No Matter the Challenge

The transport industry continues to adapt to changing regulations, and one of the latest challenges has been the new requirements for 3.5t vans to be fitted with tachographs (TACOs). With compliant vehicles in short supply, many businesses are understandably concerned about maintaining reliable deliveries.

At Retail Transport Services Ltd, we've been navigating industry changes for 27 years. Experience has taught us that strong relationships make all the difference.

Over nearly three decades, we've built trusted partnerships with an extensive network of suppliers and transport providers. This means that even when availability is limited, we're able to source compliant vehicles or offer alternative transport solutions that keep your supply chain moving.

Our priority has always been simple:
✅ Find the right solution.
✅ Minimise disruption.
✅ Deliver the service our customers rely on.

If you're worried about how the latest regulations could affect your deliveries, speak to our team. We'll work with you to find the most effective and reliable solution for your business.

27 years of experience. Trusted relationships. Transport solutions that keep your goods moving.

🚛 Why being a family-run freight forwarder still matters

In an industry increasingly driven by automation and large-scale operations, we believe there's still real value in personal service.

At Retail Transport Services Ltd, we're proud to be a family-run business. That means when our customers contact us, they're dealing with people who genuinely care about their shipments, deadlines, and business success.

We understand that logistics isn't just about moving freight from A to B. Behind every consignment is a customer relying on us to deliver on our promises.

Being a smaller, independent freight forwarder allows us to:
✅ Build long-term relationships with our customers
✅ Provide a personal point of contact
✅ Respond quickly when challenges arise
✅ Deliver a service that's flexible and tailored to individual requirements

We're grateful for the trust our customers place in us and remain committed to providing the reliable, personal service that has always been at the heart of our business.

Thank you to our customers, partners, and team for your continued support.

🚛 Supply chains don’t slow down — and neither do we.

At Retail Transport Services Ltd, we know that reliable freight forwarding is about more than moving goods from A to B. It’s about communication, trust, and keeping businesses moving without disruption.
Whether it’s Groupage, Full load or Urgent deliveries our team works behind the scenes to make transport seamless for our customers every day.

✅ Reliable transport solutions
✅ Responsive customer support
✅ Flexible logistics planning
✅ Commitment to on-time delivery

As businesses continue to navigate changing market demands, having the right logistics partner matters more than ever.
If your business needs dependable freight support, we’re ready to help.

From 1 July, new smart tachograph rules come into force for certain 2.5–3.5 tonne vehicles involved in international transport.

For manufacturers and Exporters, changes like this are more than a transport issue — they can impact production schedules, supplier deliveries, and customer commitments if logistics partners aren’t prepared.

At Retail Transport Services Ltd, we’ve already planned for these changes. Our network and operations are ready, so your freight keeps moving without delays, missed collections, or unnecessary disruption.

In manufacturing, downtime is costly. Late parts, delayed shipments, and supply chain interruptions affect far more than one delivery.

That’s why our clients rely on us to stay ahead of regulation, anticipate change, and keep goods flowing across the UK and Europe — on schedule and with confidence.

If your business depends on reliable transport, now is the time to review whether your logistics partner is ready for July.

Wishing all our customers, suppliers, family and friends a very Happy Easter from everyone at RTS.
