Testimonials
"You do a fantastic job for me! I didn't realise why you chase me for my clients contact names & telephone numbers. I now understand from your import department that it is because you contact my clients to advise them of the impending delivery and to find out their opening times and to ensure that they have equipment onsite to offload. This is superb, it saves me a great deal of work and just as important is the fact that my clients receive their cargo when they are able to take delivery and hire in equipment to offload if necessary. This saves me wasted journey charges for failed deliveries. A lot of forwarders do not do this, they just get an import job & deliver it without contacting the end receiver. "~ Import Customer 56127

Case Study - Care for Bears
Care for Bears Shipping custom-made bear enclosures to Russia was a first for wildlife charity ‘Care for the Wild’, so they searched the Internet for help. | |
Care for the Wild International (CWI) has been involved in supporting the Wildlife Rescue Centre at Khabarovsk in the Far East of Russia for about five years; the Centre is home to young bears which are found orphaned when their mothers have been killed by poachers and hunters. |  |
An Internet search showed that R W Freight offers services to Russia, so CWI contacted them and explained their needs. R W Freight Operations Director Peter Willis explored the different possibilities for transporting 58 cubic metres of power fencing from Holland to the depths of Russia, and came up with the idea of a road/rail combination, utilising the services of the famous Trans-Siberian railway. | |
In the more remote areas of Russia, the road infrastructure is fragmented, and the rail system more reliable, especially for large items. So RW arranged for the fencing to travel by road trailer to and then on to Khabarovsk by rail. The fencing reached its destination safely and will soon be erected to help protect the orphan brown and black bears whose mothers have been stolen by poachers, mainly for use in the production of Asian traditional medicines. Adult bears are ‘milked’ for their bile, which has been a major constituent for these medicines for thousands of years. The poachers take the mothers but leave the immature bears behind. The orphans are kept in forested, fenced enclosures, which enables them to develop the skills which will allow them to be released into the wild. |  |
