What is Groupage Shipping?

Groupage shipping, also known as part-load or consolidated shipping, involves combining multiple smaller shipments from different businesses into a single load. This efficient method reduces costs by sharing transportation expenses, making it ideal for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), e-commerce businesses, and manufacturers with less-than-full-load requirements.

At Wards of Olney, we streamline the groupage process, handling everything from collection to delivery with precision. Our services are designed to offer flexibility, reliability, and affordability, ensuring your goods reach their destination on time.
