Our liability for all UK warehousing claims is subject to RHA which limits the liability to £100.00 GBP per tonne.
1.2 Insurance claims must be formalised in writing through an ‘Intent to Claim’ within 24 hours of delivery to gitinsurance@angliafreight.co.uk to be eligible for the claim to progress. Full details of the claim must then be submitted within 7 working days. Claims that fall outside of these times will be considered at the discretion of the Company.
1.3 Anglia Freight Ltd has a £50 excess in place for goods in transit or goods in storage insurance claim.
1.4 Anglia Freight, at its own discretion, can offer enhanced G.I.T. insurance cover with increased liability of £10.00 per kilo for an annual premium of £240. Please ask our sales team for more details. We offer bespoke quotations for high value consignments.

1.6 In line with RHA terms and conditions, we do not insure customers for consequential loss. We will not accept liability under any circumstances for consequential loss, special damages or other indirect loss, however they may arise. Please refer to RHA Conditions of Carriage for details.
1.7 Subcontracted loads are based on RHA terms only.
1.8 Failure to present freight correctly in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, may result in an insurance claim being rejected.
1.9 For more details of Anglia Freight’s GIT processes please refer to our information guide.
1.10 Our liability in all European movements is subject to CMR which limits the liability to 8.33 SDRs per kilo plus pro-rata freight costs. Please be advised that CMR convention does not apply to certain items including furniture removals and movements. A full list can be found on the BIFA website.
1.11 BIFA liability applies to all freight movements, imports and exports by air and sea outside of the EU. The rate for this is 2SDRs per kilo plus pro-rata freight costs. The rate of exchange for the SDR (also known as XDR) fluctuates daily. Please check www.xe.com to obtain the current rate.
2. Hazardous Freight
2.1 The United Nations identifies the following goods as dangerous:
- Explosives
- Gases
- Flammable liquids
- Flammable solids
- Oxidisers
- Organic peroxides
- Toxic substances
- Infectious substances
- Radioactive material
- Corrosive substances
There is also a classification for miscellaneous dangerous substances that do not fit into any of the above categories.
2.2 For ADR classified consignments, we require the product name, UN number, Class, Packing Group, Tunnel Code, the type and number of receptacles (inners and outers) and the mass/volume of each entered onto our portal at the time of booking.
2.3 Packaging of goods is the responsibility of the consignor. This includes all inner and outer containers, cartons and the labels identifying the goods as hazardous. Anglia Freight accepts no responsibility for any goods that are packaged or labelled incorrectly. Delays due to incorrect packaging and/or labelling will incur additional costs. These costs will be the responsibility of the consignor. Any costs incurred dealing with damage or spillage due to poorly presented or unsecured freight will be charged to the consignor.
2.4 Every individual canister of compressed gas shipped must be fitted with its own valve cover prior to collection.
2.5 A Dangerous Goods Note (DGN) must be provided for all shipments leaving the UK mainland. This DGN is the responsibility of the consignor. All shipments via boat are subject to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG) and, as such, require a DGN. Areas and countries Anglia Freight regularly ships to via boat include, but are not restricted to:
- Northern Ireland
- Republic of Ireland
- Isle of Wight
- Isle of Man
- Scottish Isles e.g. Orkneys and Hebrides
- EU Countries
2.6 All shipments leaving the UK mainland are permitted only a single hazardous substance per pallet, i.e. only one single UN number is allowed on one pallet. Costs incurred by failure to comply with this regulation will be the responsibility of the consignor.
2.7 All hazardous shipments moved by air are subject to the regulations of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
2.8 Hazardous goods must be packed and labelled appropriately and travel with the appropriate documentation. This is the responsibility of the consignor. Failure to comply may result in delays and may incur extra costs.
3. Customer Accounts
3.1 Tariffs are issued on the condition that consignors use our web-based online booking portal – Qargo. Bookings will not be accepted in any other format. Tariffs are based on collections ex IP postcode unless otherwise specified.
3.2 Customer credit ratings are monitored. We reserve the right to remove a credit facility.
3.3 In the event of an account becoming inactive, we will contact you prior to closing the account.
3.4 Credit facilities are dependent on accurate customer information. Once the account is set up, it is the customer’s responsibility to notify us in writing of any account changes, e.g. trading name, banking details etc. We will confirm that such changes have been logged. Contact details must also be kept up to date, please email support@angliafreight.co.uk.
4. Payment Terms
4.1 Credit will be confirmed following a satisfactory credit check. Standard terms are 30 days from invoice date, unless otherwise agreed. If credit is not granted, cleared funds will be required prior to the uplift of freight.
4.2 Failure to keep to the agreed terms may result in account suspension, i.e. “on stop”. Once funds are received to bring the account up to date, it will take a minimum of one full working day for the “stop” to be lifted before collection of freight and normal service resumed.
4.3 Any payments made to HMRC on a customer’s behalf will be invoiced on immediate payment terms.
5. Fuel Surcharge
5.1. We reserve the right to apply a variable fuel surcharge. This is activated in the event of our fuel costs rising above 100p per litre at the rate of 0.5% per pence. For example, a price to us of 102p attracts a surcharge of 1%.
5.2 Details of the current fuel surcharge rate are on our website.
6. Cancellation Charges
6.1 We reserve the right to apply reasonable cancellation charges in accordance with our Domestic Distribution Specific Trading Terms.
7. Quoted Rates and Validity
7.1 All quotes issued are valid for one calendar month unless otherwise stated.
7.2 Quotes are accompanied by a reference number. Please make sure you enter it in the ‘Quote Ref’ box when booking online. Failure to include this number may result in your consignment being charged a tariff rate.
8. Invoice Queries
8.1 Please direct invoice queries to support@angliafreight.co.uk within 10 days of invoice date. Receipt of queries will be acknowledged within 24 hours and normally resolved within 7 working days.
8.2 Payment of invoices must not be delayed by invoice queries. All invoices must be paid within the agreed credit terms.
9. Container Port Collections
9.1 For all Port Collections of import containers, we assume 7 days free time from arrival to demurrage charging. Please inform us of any deviation from this. Any demurrage charges incurred due to different free time will be the customer’s responsibility.
10. Freight Presentation
Please note the following minimum requirements for freight presentation: Anglia Freight reserve the right to stop any shipment where the freight presentation is deemed unsuitable for road transport.
Unstable pallets may be decked and reworked at a cost to the customer.
It is the driver’s responsibility to check freight’s suitability and safety to travel. Any freight deemed unsafe will be refused at the driver’s discretion. Should this occur, you will be contacted by our Operations Team. Should further discrepancies be noted during transit, you will be notified. If there are discrepancies between the booking declaration and the freight itself, you will be notified by email. Any such discrepancy may affect tariff charging. The service level of freight held over due to such discrepancies may be affected.
10.1. Wrapping
Freight must be securely attached to the pallet. Loose items under the wrap are required to be secured to avoid the goods shifting during tranist. Goods should be wrapped securely on all sides and across the top, thus completely sealed. There must be sufficient layers of wrapping to prevent goods moving independently of the pallet.
All non-stackable freight must be identifiable by a pallet cone and a non-stackable label positioned on the front of the pallet. We can supply pallet cones which are available for fragile and non-stackable freight. Please contact support@angliafreight.co.uk for price and availability.
10.2. Labelling
All pallets must be labelled clearly with a label generated from the online booking platform. This label must be placed in the centre of one short side of the pallet, 30 cms up from the base of the pallet. This to ensure the label is clearly visible when the trailer curtains are opened.
Example of Labelling Position on a Pallet
Care must be taken to ensure that labels are strongly attached to items such as cases and drums.
Freight without a correct label, and consequently unidentifiable, will inevitably be delayed due to insufficient information. Anglia Freight does not accept responsibility for incorrect or inadequately labelled pallets. Please note, incorrect labelling leads to delays and extra charges for which you, as consignor, will be responsible.
10.3 Customer Label Printers
Anglia Freight will install Zebra label printers into customers’ premises where appropriate. The use of these printers will be agreed with you in writing by a separate policy document. Customers supplied with printers are responsible for printing and labelling their pallets accurately.
It is also the customer’s responsibility to amend labels if necessary, prior to freight collection. Once collected, we may not be able to intercept freight to amend its labels.
Additional labels can be requested by emailing support@angliafreight.co.uk.
10.4 Bagged Product
- Product must not overhang the base dimensions of the pallet
- Product must be guarded with cardboard shield 500mm up from the base of the pallet
- Product must be protected with a cardboard layer card on the top of the pallet
- Product must be securely wrapped to the wooden pallet
-
Insufficient Protection -
Correctly Protected Bagged Product
10.5 Bottled Product
Please ensure bottled product meets these conditions:
- Each layer of bottles must sit in a tray strong enough to restrict lateral movement.
- A layer of cardboard must be used to separate each layer of product.
- Sufficient wrap must be applied to ensure that the bottles cannot move or ‘bulge’ during transport. Please note, this requires a minimum of 5 – 6 layers of wrap.
- Unstable pallets deemed unsafe to travel will be decked and reworked at a cost to the customer.
10.6 Hazardous Drums
All drums must be secured to the pallet. Below is an image demonstrating the correct procedures for securing drums in place with banding. Alternatively shrink wrap can be used to secure the drums to the pallet. If wrap is used it must go around the base of the pallet and the drums.
Any freight deemed unsafe to travel will be decked and reworked at a cost to the customer.
10.7 Sharp Items/Wire Products
- All sharp items or wire products (e.g. barbed wire) must be shipped with sufficient protective packaging to ensure that the goods cannot come loose or cause damage to the surrounding pallets or vehicles.
- Additional banding, plastic, cardboard or any other suitable covers must be used to eliminate the risk of damage to other surrounding pallets or vehicles and keep the product secured to the pallet.
- All freight must remain inside of the footprint of the pallet base.
- The customer will be held responsible for any costs arising due to damage caused by inadequate packaging.
10.8 Beer Barrels & Kegs
- Beer or cider barrels & kegs are prone to movement in transit; whilst adequate shrink wrap of a suitable quality can help reduce such movement, banding must be used in order to reduce the chance of a barrel falling from a trailer / vehicle.
- Barrels / kegs should not be double stacked without the use of plastic / positioning trays or wooden stocks as these may help reduce sliding.
10.9 Glass
- Items such as glass windscreens, large glass panels or associated items requiring extra care should have advisory labels such as ‘Handle with Care’ or ‘Fragile’ attached to the outer package.
- Items such as vehicle windscreens and window panels are best suited for transhipment in wooded crates or hard surface boxes giving maximum protection.
10.10 Pallet Quality
All freight must be loaded onto good quality 4-way pallets. Please ensure that the quality of pallets used is commensurate with the weight of the goods. High weight loads, (i.e., more than 500 kg per pallet), require high quality 4-way wooden pallets.
10.11 Pallet Weights
All pallet weights declared by online booking must be accurate. This is non-negotiable. The weight of the pallet affects not only planning, but even more importantly, the health & safety of handlers and road safety.
Accurate weights and dimension declarations are the responsibility of the consignor. Anglia Freight does not accept responsibility to verify or to check weights and dimensions.
Pallets needing delivery by tail lift must not exceed 1000kg.
Pallets over 750kg but no more than 1000kg are subject to an additional charge for lift assist.
Maximum tail lift weight is restricted to 750kgs at delivery points where a small vehicle (SV – 7.5T) is required. Please contact sales@angliafreight.co.uk for more information regarding pallets exceeding the above specifications.

Domestic Distribution Specific Trading Terms
12. Booking & Cut Off Times
12.1 Standard Cut Off Times for Freight Collections ex IP Postcode
- 11.00hrs on the day of collection for non-hazardous consignments and customers on standard terms (excluding any special arrangements e.g. ETSF (External Temporary Storage Facility), Dedicated Loads).
- 16.00hrs on the day prior to collection for hazardous consignments (excluding any special arrangements e.g. ETSF).
12.2 You must phone our traffic office if you upload a consignment after cut-off. It is possible we may be able to collect, but may not be able to guarantee next day delivery.
12.3 If a consignment is uploaded after cut-off and same day collection has not been confirmed, the collection date will be amended to the following day. If this means an adjustment to service level, it will be at customer cost. Please check your jobs list for confirmed collection dates and service levels.
12.4 Due to special requirements, for bookings to Boots SSC Nottingham and Tesco RDCs, please contact the Business Support Team for advice on how to book. Email: support@angliafreight.co.uk.
12.6 ETSF Collections
All ETSF collections must be booked by 1200hrs the day prior to collection. Please note, this cut-off time is non-negotiable for us with the ETSF. For ETSF facility customers, this does not apply to collections made from your own site. It does however apply to any freight you are requesting we collect from another ETSF.
All pallets must be clearly labelled with the correct UCN (marker pen on shrink wrap will not suffice). Without this, we cannot uplift freight and you will incur wasted collection charges. These are applied per consignment and not per vehicle.
All freight must be customs cleared, with all charges paid (including pallet charges and any applicable rent), and released to Anglia Freight’s badge code FET prior to booking. Please note that we do not offer a pallet exchange service.
Given the setting, you will appreciate that it is impossible to inform you of incorrectly processed consignments whilst the vehicle is still on site. Therefore, we will charge you for failed collections. Any freight that is not cleared and released to our badge code FET by 12 noon on the day prior to collection will incur a £5 per consignment charge.
All bookings will be processed at 12 noon on the day prior to collection.
When booking, the correct UCN must be entered into the relevant field on Qargo. Should the UCN apply to multiple delivery locations please pre-advise traffic@angliafreight.co.uk.
13. Away Collections (3rd Party Collections)
Freight collections for 1-3 pallet spaces outside of the IP postcode will need to be booked online by 1100hrs for same day collections, Monday – Friday.
For shipments for 4+ pallet spaces and all ADR / Hazardous freight collections outside the IP postcode must be booked by 1200hrs (noon) the day prior to collection.
14. Freight Collection
Our standard collection window is within 0900 – 1700hrs unless otherwise specified. Goods need to be available for collection at the time of booking or from 0900hrs on the booked day of collection.
Collection Loading Time Allocation:
| No. of Pallets | 1-6 | 7-12 | 13-17 | 18-25 | 26+ (step frame) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time Allowed | 15 mins | 30 mins | 45 mins | 60 mins | TBA |
Following the above waiting times, we reserve the right to withdraw our vehicle with wasted charges applied or agree a length of time to wait including confirmation of any additional charges. If wasted charges are applied, the consignment would be closed off for invoice, and a new consignment would require adding online.
We do not offer a timed collection service. A wasted charge will be applied if the freight is not ready when our vehicle arrives to collect the booked freight. Wasted charges are applied per consignment and not per vehicle.
Collection Manifests are signed for the number of pallets and not specific pallets.
Please note that we do not offer a pallet exchange service.
Unless told otherwise, we will assume that 7 days free time applies to all import containers from time of arrival to demurrage charging.
15. Freight Delivery Window
Our standard delivery window is within 0900 – 1700hrs unless otherwise specified or booked. Customers should ensure that there is someone on site to receive the goods. If no-one is available to sign for the goods, we reserve the right to return them to our depot. Any ensuing redelivery is chargeable to the customer.
If Anglia Freight is not at fault for a failed delivery, the re-delivery will be charged to the customer.
If delivery is impossible due to road closure or similar, we reserve the right to return the goods to our depot and redeliver on another occasion.
16. Nature of Delivery
16.1 Kerb Side
All deliveries are to kerb side only unless prearranged before collection. Any additional requirements may incur additional charges and must be confirmed in writing by Anglia Freight. When a handball service has been booked, this is also to kerb side unless otherwise agreed in writing prior to collection.
It is always the driver’s decision as to whether the delivery is both safe and possible in the location.
16.2 Tail Lift Deliveries
Please note 16.1 above: It is always the driver’s decision as to whether the delivery is both safe and possible in the location.
Drivers will complete a dynamic risk assessment for tail lift deliveries.
16.2.1 All network deliveries have the option to be booked with a tail lift. There will be a delivery surcharge for this service.
16.2.2 The driver will use the tail lift to unload the goods and make a kerb side delivery.
16.2.3 Tail lift deliveries must be on flat, solid, ground so a pump truck can move over it easily.
16.2.4 Tail lift deliveries can be made on all pallets not exceeding 1.2 x 1.0 x 2.2m and 1000kg in weight. 17.2.5 For tail lift deliveries requiring a small vehicle, pallets must not exceed 1.2 x 1.0 x 2.2 and 750kg in weight. Please note small vehicle (7.5T) capacity is 2500kgs maximum weight and/or 4 pallet spaces.
16.3 Network Handball Deliveries
16.3.1 “Handball” deliveries may be booked in locations without a forklift and where a tail lift vehicle cannot be used. Handball must be requested at the time of booking and cannot be requested once the shipment has reached the delivery point.
16.3.2 For handball deliveries, cartons must not exceed 25kg in weight. The total pallet weight must not exceed 1000kg. If the goods are not cartons, it is the driver’s decision as to whether unloading is safe.
16.3.3 The goods will only be handballed off to the side of the vehicle and no further. The pallet and all packaging will be unloaded and left with the goods. Pallet and packaging will not be removed by the driver.
16.3.4 Where handball is required for consignments of multiple pallets, written confirmation of handball must be obtained prior to booking. Without this the goods will be returned to the delivery depot and the customer charged for redelivery.
Current H & S legislation prevents handball on consignments exceeding 1000kg.
Any consignments larger than 1 pallet that require handball must be agreed prior to transit in writing to traffic@angliafreight.co.uk.
16.4 Advanced Notice of Delivery
Should you require a call to the delivery point prior to delivery please ensure that all contact details have been included at the time of booking (in the delivery instruction box). Please note that, given the nature of our delivery process, advance notice is on a “best endeavours” basis and we cannot guarantee that the driver will be in a position to call ahead of delivery. Where a mobile number is entered in the correct booking field, a text will be sent to confirm that the freight has been loaded on the delivery vehicle.
16.5 Specific Rates
If the specific surcharge box is not ticked and goods are shipped by an alternative method to the one discussed and / or quoted any quoted rate will be invalidated.
16.6 Service Levels
Each shipment method has its own unique service levels and it is the customer’s responsibility to select the appropriate level when booking. Below are examples of the different levels available, but if in doubt, please contact us at support@angliafreight.co.uk to check.
All delivery service levels exclude Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays unless otherwise agreed and confirmed in writing by Anglia Freight.
In the event of the freight being delayed, the delivery date will be moved to the next working day and the service level amended.
If freight needs to be couriered, we will do our very best to arrange appropriate transportation. However, we cannot guarantee this. It will depend on considerations such as the nature of the freight and current courier demand.
Anglia Freight will not accept responsibility for charges incurred by a customer organising their own courier unless this is agreed in advance and confirmed in writing. In these circumstances, Anglia Freight will investigate what led to the requirement and will rule on liability once the facts are established. This decision will be final.

The Dangerous Goods Note (DGN) is a transport document with details of the contents of a shipment for carriers, receiving authorities and forwarders. It is used to accompany dangerous goods in transit. You can use a DGN to transport goods using all forms of transport except air freight, when the IATA Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD) is used.
Please ensure that the freight is appropriately packed, labelled and the relevant DGN is handed to the driver on collection
- Customers must provide their own paperwork for all shipments and this must conform to DG standards, clearly showing the UN number, Name of Goods, Class, Packing Group, Description of Packaging and Tunnel Code.
- Saturday deliveries are by arrangement only and will require the agreement of the delivery depot concerned.
- Hazardous Parcels will only be delivered during the window of 0900hrs and 1700hrs. Timed surcharges are not applicable to these items.
- Where a parcel is booked for a postcode that only has a pallet delivery service goods will be sent as a pallet and charged as such. Please refer to our website for our service level restrictions.
- All consignments booked for a residential service will require a customer telephone number or the freight will be held up until one is provided.
- A customer telephone number must be provided on booking for all deliveries that require a residential service (RS). Failure to do so, will delay the freight being delivered.
For hazardous deliveries made by our Groupage or Full Load service
These will be agreed in writing prior to the collection of the goods.
