RF Shipping was founded in 2005 by Robert Frew following our move to Maddox Street in the heart of central London, adjacent to all the major auction houses. As experienced bookdealers we have handled the packing and shipping of books for some 30 years and have developed a large range of logistical solutions to the needs of the industry.
Professional packing and attention to detail, prompt service at the most economic rates, and of course total confidentiality are assured.
Having performed these functions for ourselves and friendly colleagues for a number of years we decided to put the service on a professional footing. To that end we set up a separate company with its own terms and conditions. So far we have engaged an additional dedicated member of staff to handle the day to day affairs which at this point are still jointly managed by Kate and Jonathan.
Response has been very positive from members of the trade, mainly dealers abroad requiring books to be collected, packed and shipped to their home countries. But additionally we have served a number of British dealers and private collectors. Our client base seems to be growing daily and repeat business evidences considerable satisfaction.
We have various expansionist plans and will promote these in due course.
