An urgent requirement for spare parts critical to our customer's production line on the remote island of Westray in Scotland - with parts collected and delivered within two days, involving three modes of transport and 11 connections on the way from Romania to the customer's site.
This movement is testament to the response, care and attention offered by Streamline Shipping Group to it's valued customers when there is a critical requirement.
Due to urgency, at the recommendation of Streamline Shipping Group, consignment broken down by the EU supplier into a small package of the most important parts, and the remainder on a pallet which would be more likely to be held up in transit. Both the small package and pallet are then collected on the same day, with the small package successfully delivered within two days at 7pm on a Saturday evening, and the pallet one day later on a Sunday afternoon on the remote island of Westray.
