Hi all,

i am really keen to get myself a dk cab but several attempts have fell through, i think due to shipping issues, i realise nobody wants to ship a cab to the uk when they can just have a buyer collect it so i think i am going to have to organise shipping myself...

trouble is i dont really know where to start or how to get an accurate quote, i also dont know about suitable packaging etc, i know it will need palleted but thats it...

cost of cab and shipping will likely clean me out so i cant afford to have it stuck at customs or some port and end up getting ransomed for extra charges, or worse still have it arrive broken or just disappear into the ether lol...

basically it is all just a bit overwhelming trying to organise it from another country...

can anyone give me any advice or recommend a freight company that can simply ship it door to door from the us to the uk so i dont have to deal with customs or collecting from a port etc?

thank you
 
I would think you simply need to contact an international shipper in your country and ask them about it. UPS and FedEx do some freight services, but I don't know about something this big overseas. Still, they'd probably know the answers to your questions about door-to-door, customs, etc.

You may also have better luck by checking with a shipping broker, as they can probably do all of the arrangements for you...
 
thanks,

can someone please tell me what size of pallet is suitable for air/sea shipping?

cheers
