How Much is Steel Doors Transport to the UK from Poland?
Importing steel doors from Poland to the UK has become a popular option for British companies selling doors and windows. The attractive pricing and potential for high profit margins make this an appealing business strategy. In this article, we will focus on the transport costs associated with bringing steel doors from Poland to the UK, highlighting the factors that influence these costs and how businesses can benefit from efficient logistics.
Attractive Pricing and High Profit Margins
Based on our research, companies in the UK can easily sell imported steel doors with a 50-60% margin. This makes importing from Poland not just a viable option, but a highly profitable one. Companies selling doors and windows benefit the most, as they share the same clientele and often have early access to clients during the renovation or construction stages.
Factors Influencing Transport Costs
Transport costs from Poland to the UK depend on several factors, including:
- Truck Size: Larger trucks can carry more products, reducing the cost per unit.
- Type of Transport: Options include special transport (one vehicle dedicated to one location) or shared transport (multiple deliveries in one trip).
Delivery Options
We offer two delivery options to our UK clients:
-
- To Your Warehouse
- Directly On-Site
Packaging and Insurance
To ensure safe delivery, all doors are packed securely in foam and foil packaging. Additionally, all transports are insured. We take photographs of all products in the factory before and after packing to avoid disputes with transport companies over improper packaging or securing.
Cost Breakdown
The estimated base price for transport using our shared transport option is approximately £2 per kilogram. For instance, one square meter of glazed steel doors weighs around 35 kg. Here’s an example cost breakdown:
200x200 cm
Double steel doors- Weight: 140 kg
- Transport Cost: £280
- Customs Paperwork: £100 (one-time charge per delivery)
This means that for a reference door of 4 square meters, the total transport cost would be around £380, including customs paperwork. For large projects, it might be more economical to use a dedicated vehicle for direct delivery to your warehouse or site. For smaller projects, we recommend using our shared transport to distribute the cost efficiently.
Efficient Shared Transport
At Icon, we use shared transport for our dealers in the UK, shipping on a weekly basis. By sharing transport with other clients, we can make the process more cost-effective for everyone. Our shipping rates are based on the weight of the products, ensuring fair and transparent pricing
Customs Paperwork
Each delivery is charged £100 for customs paperwork, which means we handle all paperwork with the customs agency for you. This allows you to focus on more important aspects of your business, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free import process.
