Which logistics providers can reliably ship pallets and samples to Europe, particularly for trade shows and regular distribution?

Members have successfully used several providers for European logistics. For pallet shipments to Germany and general European distribution, **Wineflow**, **Jaguar Freight Services** (jagugs.com), and **Albatrans** in Glasgow are recommended options. For specific contacts, **KMB Shipping** (Paul Hull, +44 7711 808775, paul.hull@kmbshippingco.uk) has been mentioned as a resource.

For sample shipments to Europe, members typically use: - **Hillebrand** (contact: diana.estelanecochea@hillebrandgori.com) — used for shipments to Dubai and other international destinations; quoted around £100 for 2x 70cl bottles - **DHL** — members maintain accounts for all international sample distribution; noted as the standard used by most distilleries - **UPS** — used for sample delivery routes into Italy

For cost-effective shipping to European trade shows (e.g. Prowein), members suggest exploring shipment consolidation with other Kindreds to split costs. **Hillebrand** appears well-suited for this given their quoted pricing.

**Note:** Members advised checking with providers directly on current capacity; Supply Chain 21 declined some requests, so availability varies.
