Freight Forwarding
Sea, air and coastal freight for import and export cargo, moved by one team from booking to delivery.
Ultimate Freight Services is a New Zealand owned freight forwarder established in 2000. We move import and export cargo by sea and air, and handle coastal shipping for domestic moves between regions, so a single carton or a full project shipment is booked, tracked and delivered without the handovers that slow other supply chains down.
Our customers ship everything from perishable goods to full container loads and over dimensional project cargo. Through long standing relationships with carriers, shipping lines and a worldwide agent network, we source the right routing and rate for each shipment, then manage it end to end from our Auckland base.

Freight Forwarding FAQs
What is the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL is a full container load booked for your cargo alone. LCL, or less than container load, shares a container with other shippers through consolidation, which suits smaller volumes.
Can you handle perishable or temperature sensitive cargo?
Yes. We arrange reefer and temperature controlled options by sea and air and plan routing to protect time sensitive goods.
Do you manage door to door delivery?
We can. Forwarding, customs clearance and warehousing sit in house, and we arrange cartage through trusted carriers, so we deliver from the origin supplier through to your door.
