  We can also ship using your carrier with your account number upon request. These carriers pick up goods at an Oxford Alloys facility and ship directly to you. Typically, the carrier collects duties and other related import charges from you while Oxford Alloys invoices you for the cost of goods and shipping. Weight limits apply to small package carrier shipments (depending on carrier). For large shipments, we can work with you to arrange alternate shipping methods such as freight forwarding.

Freight forwarders use air and/or sea transportation and facilitate importation. We can use your preferred forwarder or help you find the most suitable forwarder based on your requirements. Typically, when using your preferred forwarder, all transportation, duties, and related import charges, are collected by the freight forwarder and Oxford Alloys invoices you only for the goods.
