What Smart Directions does
Smart Directions Limited is a United Kingdom third-party logistics provider and freight forwarder based at Unit 4 River Park Industrial Estate, Billet Lane, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire HP4 1HL, positioned within minutes of the M25. The company was formed in 2007 by two friends facing redundancy and employs 13 people serving clients domestically and internationally. Smart Directions combines freight forwarding with e-commerce fulfilment and warehousing. Freight services cover sea freight on both full container and less than container load terms for import and export, air freight, road freight, rail freight, express road freight, and same day and next day delivery across the United Kingdom and Europe. The fulfilment operation handles order receipt, processing, picking, packing, dispatch and returns, and supports multi channel selling across a client's own website, Amazon and referral marketplaces. Additional services include customs clearance for imports and exports, time sensitive deliveries, and the handling of hazardous goods such as aerosols, lithium batteries, infectious substances, fireworks, dry ice, petrol powered machinery, lighters and paint. Clients access shipment tracking and fulfilment stock levels through the company's online portals, and Smart Directions publishes a fuel surcharge tracker and global holiday calendar as customer resources.
