Industries We Serve

RFS Worldwide ships goods for UK businesses across a wide range of industries. From online retailers sending stock to Amazon warehouses, to fashion brands moving seasonal collections, to homeware companies importing from overseas — we handle it all.

Below are the main sectors we work with every day. If your industry isn’t listed, don’t worry. Get in touch and we’ll let you know how we can help.

E-Commerce & Online Retail

Selling online means your stock has to be in the right place at the right time, every time. We work with Amazon FBA sellers, Shopify stores, eBay sellers, Etsy shops, and direct-to-consumer brands to keep stock moving smoothly. From China to UK shipping, customs clearance, FBA prep, and final-mile delivery into Amazon warehouses — we handle the full journey so you can focus on selling.

Fashion, Apparel & Textiles

Fashion moves fast. Whether you’re shipping a new clothing collection, a footwear range, accessories, bags, or rolls of fabric, we get it where it needs to go on time. We work with established fashion brands, independent designers, and online clothing retailers — by air freight when speed matters and sea freight for bulk seasonal stock.

Consumer Goods & General Merchandise

Homeware, kitchenware, giftware, stationery, decor, soft furnishings — the everyday products that fill UK shops and online stores. We handle full container loads, part loads, and palletised shipments for retailers, wholesalers, and brand owners across the consumer goods sector.

Electronics & Consumer Tech

Gadgets, headphones, cables, small appliances, accessories — we ship a steady flow of electronics from suppliers worldwide into the UK. We understand the careful handling these products need and can advise on safe transport options for items with lithium batteries.

Sports, Fitness & Outdoor Equipment

Gym equipment, yoga mats, bikes, camping gear, outdoor furniture, sports apparel — we move it all. Whether you’re a sports brand stocking up for the busy season or an outdoor retailer importing a new range, our freight services keep your shelves and warehouses full.

Health, Beauty & Personal Care

Cosmetics, skincare, haircare, fragrances, nail products, and beauty tools — we handle them with the care they need. We support indie beauty brands, established cosmetics companies, and online beauty retailers shipping into and out of the UK.

Books, Stationery & Print

Books, magazines, packaging, paper goods, office supplies, and printed marketing materials. Paper and print products are heavy, often time-sensitive, and need reliable handling. We move them by sea, air, and road for publishers, printers, and retailers.

Furniture & Home Interiors

Flat-pack furniture, lighting, rugs, curtains, mirrors, decor items — the goods that make houses feel like homes. Furniture is one of the most common sea freight categories we handle, and we’ve got the warehouse space and distribution network to manage everything from a single piece to a full container load.

Automotive Parts & Accessories

Car body parts, accessories, mats, covers, and non-fluid components for the UK aftermarket. We work with importers, distributors, and online auto retailers to keep parts moving from suppliers worldwide into UK warehouses and on to customers.

Industrial & Engineering Goods

Machinery parts, tools, hardware, fasteners, building materials, and raw metals. Industrial freight needs careful planning, the right equipment, and a forwarder who understands timelines. We work with manufacturers, engineering firms, and industrial suppliers to keep production lines running.

Construction Materials & Building Supplies

Tiles, fixtures, fittings, paint, tools, scaffolding, and prefabricated components. The construction industry runs on tight schedules and reliable deliveries. Our freight forwarding services help builders, merchants, and developers get the right materials to site on time.

Pet Supplies & Accessories

Pet beds, toys, accessories, leashes, crates, and carriers. The UK pet industry is booming, and we ship for pet brands, online pet stores, and importers bringing new product lines into the market.

Toys & Children’s Products

Plastic toys, soft toys, puzzles, kids’ furniture, school supplies, and educational products. We handle seasonal peaks (think Christmas stock arrivals) and steady year-round shipments for toy brands, retailers, and online sellers.

Garden & Outdoor Goods

Garden furniture, planters, tools, decor, and outdoor BBQs. Garden products have a strong seasonal pattern, and we plan freight schedules to match — making sure your stock lands in the UK before peak season hits.

Arts, Crafts & Hobby Supplies

Craft materials, kits, models, frames, canvases, and crafting fabrics. We support craft retailers and hobby brands shipping a wide variety of small, mixed product lines from overseas suppliers into UK warehouses and fulfilment centres.

Personal Effects & Household Removals

Moving abroad? Sending personal belongings to family overseas? Returning home with the things you collected along the way? We handle international removals and personal effects shipping for individuals, families, students, and expats. Door-to-door service, customs paperwork sorted, and a clear price up front.

Trade Shows, Exhibitions & Event Logistics

Booth materials, displays, marketing collateral, product samples, and event equipment. Trade show freight is almost always time-sensitive — your stand has to be set up before the doors open. We arrange fast, reliable air freight and road transport so your team can focus on the event, not the shipping.

Marine, Leisure & Yachting Accessories

Boat parts, fittings, equipment, and accessories for the marine and leisure industry. Whether you’re a chandlery, a yacht fit-out specialist, or an online marine retailer, we ship the gear that keeps boats moving.
