I needed an antique dining table shipping to family in Queensland Australia. I was dreading the whole process but it couldn’t have been simpler thanks to Paul and the team at IFS.The service they provided was outstanding every step of the way, not to mention the impeccable packing of the table! I cannot recommend them enough and would give more stars if I could.

Response from the owner:Wow, thank you for such a fantastic review, Yvonne. We're delighted to hear that you were so pleased with our service and that everything went smoothly for both you and your relatives in Australia. Thank you for choosing us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We have used Paul and his team multiple times over the past couple of years and have never had a problem. They always work hard to find the best solution, and they deliver every time. We had a major client putting a lot of pressure on us due to manufacturing delays. Paul sorted the transport quickly and kept adapting the arrangements whenever delays changed, which made things much easier for us. He managed to get our shipment from Spain to England within two days. The pricing is very reasonable and completely justified for the level of service provided. Communication is always clear throughout the entire transport process, and they consistently deliver quickly and reliably. I would highly recommend Paul and his team. We never have to worry when we contact him, and he is the only freight forwarder we trust because of the consistently excellent service.

Response from the owner:What a great review review Josh - it means a lot to us, thanks so much! We look forward to being of service to you again.

Working with Catherine and IFS has been a breath of fresh air. Communication has been excellent, she keeps you informed throughout the entire process and makes something that others could easily make difficult feel… well, easy. If you want someone who treats your shipment like it actually matters (because it does), Catherine is the one. Highly recommend, my stress level definitely approves 😄.

Response from the owner:Glad you are happy with our service Jeff. Cath's communication is great - she does like to talk!😆We appreciate your business and look forward to assisting you again.

Giving back and supporting cricket across generations and continents

by Mediateam | Jul 1, 2026 | Case Study, International Freight

Renaldo and Caroline Brathwaite have been proudly using International Freight Services (IFS) over the past year to send cricket equipment to family and friends in Barbados, helping to support the game they love.

Renaldo enjoyed a successful professional cricket career representing Barbados before moving to the UK to coach club cricket. It was through coaching that he met Caroline, whose son, Xander, was one of the young players he mentored. Today, Xander has progressed to county cricket, and the couple are now happily married with a daughter, Raynie.

Cricket remains at the heart of family life for the Brathwaites. Passionate about giving back and supporting loved ones back home, Caroline and Renaldo regularly use International Freight Services to ship cricket equipment to Barbados, ensuring family and friends have access to the gear they need to enjoy and develop their own love for the game.

Their story is a wonderful example of how sport connects people, creates lasting relationships, and keeps communities united—no matter the distance.

Protecting Precious Memories: 100-year-old Dining Table delivered to Australia

by Mediateam | Jun 19, 2026 | Case Study, International Freight

When Yvonne Wilkinson approached IFS to arrange the shipment of this treasured family heirloom to relatives overseas, our team carefully planned every stage of the move to ensure its safe arrival. Yvonne’s Uncle Terry bought this table secondhand when they were first married in the 1920’s.

“I can’t tell you how happy Uncle Terry is to have that table in his own home and they are so thrilled with how you have made this all possible – thank you so much for such a pleasant experience 🤩”
Feedback from Customer, Sheffield.

A cherished 100-year-old oak dining table belonging to a Sheffield family has been successfully delivered to its new home in Australia.

Case Study:
Transporting 100yr old Dining Table

Service provided by IFS:
Air Freight

Collection:
United Kingdom

Destination:
Australia

Consignment:
Custom-built wooden crate

Transit Time:
Approx. 2 weeks ‘Door to Door’

The table was dismantled prior to collection and transported to our packing facility, where it was professionally prepared for its long journey. A bespoke wooden crate was custom-built specifically for the table, complete with specialist internal protective packaging to safeguard every component during transit.

IFS arranged an air freight service to deliver the table to Yvonne’s family home in Widgee, a rural community in Queensland, Australia. Despite the remote destination, the shipment was carefully coordinated to ensure a smooth and timely delivery.

Transporting wooden items into Australia can be particularly challenging due to the country’s strict biosecurity regulations, which are designed to prevent the introduction of pests and contaminants. To satisfy these requirements, IFS provided comprehensive documentation detailing the type of wood used, together with information confirming the table’s age and origin.

With the correct documentation in place and careful attention to Australia’s import requirements, the shipment was cleared through Customs without issue. From collection in the UK to final delivery in Australia, the entire journey was completed in approximately two weeks. The table arrived safely and in excellent condition, much to the delight of Yvonne’s Uncle Terry. Having originally belonged to his parents when they married in the 1920s, the table holds significant sentimental value. He was particularly impressed by the quality of the bespoke packing case and the speed of the service.

Thanks to meticulous planning, expert packing, and careful handling throughout the shipping process, the family heirloom arrived safely in Australia, ready to continue creating memories for future generations. Check out some of our other fascinating Case Studies >
