A company we use has just given me a quote of £200 for a 2 day service to California - Door to Door excluding any applicable taxes in USA.

He also said sending 2 together would drop the price by £6 each - so not toomuch saving

He will come back with a consolidator contact number for seafreight tomorrow - estimates £100 for up to 1000kg on 16 day sea trip - up to port - hen it is up to whoever to clear it through customs.

Anyone interested this was through Paul at PRS Express (He is the P in the company name) call 01753 671 900

See what happens with him tomorrow.

Just got the call
Shipping company is Unsworth and they consolidate into containers and ship to all parts of the world and most ports in the USA.

Contact there is Munesh and phone is 0208 539* 8899

Although they are based Essex side of London they have various "drop off" points in the UK

Approx 16 day trip to USA and about £100 for up to 1000kg or 1 cubic meter.This is to port of your choice.

They also can do a quote for clearing and delivery in USA

Hope this helps

Chris,

I use Action-Global Forwarding, Ltd, 017 5386 3222, [email protected] to ship from the UK to the US. Knowlegeable, professional, and shipments arrive as scheduled.....in fact, usually much faster than I would have expected. My last 65Kg shipment from the UK took just 4 days to arrive in California.

this is off topic, and you've probably heard it many times before, but Ian - are you sitting on a park bench?

Here in snowy New England, I'm waiting for flowers to bloom like madness in the spring, so I can sand my car outside. Feeling alone, some of the seams feel thick as a brick.

watch out for Jack in the Green

 

I feel bad hijacking chris's tread here. Specially since the shipping info he is asking is for me (one of those UN1s is mine).

Chris, sorry for being such a "LOCOMOTIVE BREATH" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

[chris parker]

no problems haveing read various posts i'm starting to expect you to pop up in a tread i'll give the container shipping bloke a ring to ask about the box it may be the cheapest way forward. in the uk we have a program called "i'm a celebrity get me out of here" its a bunch of celebrity's who are put in the aussie jungle, one of these was john lydem x sex pistols (johhny rotten) some how you reminded me of him.
LOL no offence mate! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hello All

Yes I have heard a load of those before - just wish I could play the flute and then I would not see the price of these as such a big deal.

Another useless fact someone with the same name is on the USA most wanted list - I get grief flying into the country and hit by the secondary interrogation bunch.

By the way I have nothing to do with either of the above links other than the company that I work for that specialises in parts for bulldozers and heavy diesel engines uses them. They are reasonable and fair and I know one is a car nut too!

Anyway today I look at my potential baby - a KVA that's almost complete

More on that later

Ian

Hi Chris,
Thanks for all your hard work, I sent you a PM last night.

P.S

My wife says "Rotten" is a perfect name for me. If I get kicked of the Forum, I am coming back as Johhny Rotten /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
