Richmond Scientific ship lab equipment throughout the UK, and worldwide. We have worked with partners in India, Singapore, Japan, Switzerland and throughout Africa.
Read about how we support our overseas customers, and why our customers come back time and time again.
Lab Equipment Tested and Ready to Ship
Before anything leaves our warehouse, it’s carefully inspected, cleaned and tested by our in-house team. We make sure everything is working exactly as expected and provide service reports or calibration certificates where needed.
Further, we’re always happy to send you photos or a video of the equipment in detail. Alternatively, we can jump on a video call to show you the equipment in action.
Expert Packing and Crating
Used lab equipment needs the right protection during transit. When we ship lab equipment worldwide, our logistics team uses strong, custom-built wooden crates or industrial packaging. Sensitive instruments are cushioned and stabilised to prevent movement. Moisture-resistant materials are used where needed.
Global Shipping, Multiple Options
We ship worldwide using the best method for your location, equipment type and budget:
- Air freight for fast delivery
- Sea freight for larger or heavy items
- Courier for smaller instruments
We’ll work with you to choose the best shipping option and provide clear timelines. We can also ship under EXW, FOB or DAP terms depending on what suits your team best.
On the other hand, maybe you would prefer to arrange your own courier to collect your equipment. This is something we often offer for overseas customers.
Documentation and Customs
We take care of the paperwork, so you don’t have to. Every international shipment includes the required export documents, such as:
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- Certificate of origin
- CE compliance or condition reports (where applicable)
Our team has experience with customs procedures in dozens of countries, helping to minimise delays and extra charges.
Insurance and Tracking
Your order can be fully insured for peace of mind. We’ll also provide tracking information and shipping updates, so you know where your equipment is at all times.
Trusted Worldwide
Over the years, we’ve shipped second-hand lab equipment to customers in:
- Europe
- India and Southeast Asia

From benchtop analysers to large drying ovens and centrifuges, our team handles every order with care.
