Why Choose RTL Group
Surface cargo is a volume business, and the difference between providers usually shows up in whether goods actually arrive in the condition they were loaded in, and whether the delivery window holds even without express handling. RTL Group applies the same tracking and delivery-guarantee standards to surface cargo as to its faster services.
What to Expect
Standard surface cargo transit takes longer than express or air options, which is the trade-off for lower cost. If your shipment is consolidated with other loads, it may involve intermediate stops, which can add time to the route. Bulk goods should be packaged to standard shipping requirements — appropriately palletised or crated — since packaging quality affects both handling efficiency and damage risk over longer transit times.
