Mission
Make international shipping simple, honest and affordable for every customer, whatever the size of the consignment.
About us
A London cargo house built on relationships
Founded in 2015, General Cargo handles freight, courier and remittance for thousands of families and businesses every month.
Our story
We started as a two-person clearing and forwarding office at 1B Fourth Avenue, London E12 6DB, helping London families send goods home reliably. Word travelled. Today the same office coordinates air and sea freight, a nationwide courier network and a licensed money transfer service — with the same promise: fast and reliable.
Being a Biman Bangladesh Airlines approved top cargo sales agent gives our customers priority allocation on one of the busiest corridors we serve, and pricing that individual shippers cannot access alone.
