A UK based freight forwarder will be able to pick it up from the factory in China and deliver it to your door in the Uk if you pay them enough.

I don't know what ports are commonly used but I know a few of the scottish freight forwarders prefer to use grangemouth for obvious reasons.

I am sure they quoted me in the region of £1200 to bring a container over from China but don't quote me on that as my memory is a little hazy for some reason
