Freight forwarding and order fulfilment, from Cape Town

We forward cargo on nominated sailings to the South Atlantic. And through our two online stores you order, we pack, and we forward: provisions to the island, galley stores to vessels in the harbour.

Wholesale · Procurement

Custom bulk orders direct from wholesalers

Larger or special lines sourced to order — not only from the online catalogue. Expand for how it works.

For island or vessel requirements that need volume, a specific brand, or lines outside the ambient catalogue, U2U can source custom bulk direct from wholesalers — then pack, seal, and hand off on the same Cape Town → sailing or berth path.

What this is for Bulk provisions, wholesale quantities, or specially requested goods where catalogue carts are not the right fit.
How it runs Quote and buy via the Cape Town desk; consolidate, pack, and forward with your other cargo when a sailing or berth window is set.
How to start Email the desk with what you need, quantity, and target sailing or vessel. Online Tristan / Chandling stores stay for catalogue orders.
