Shipping the world...

Post by Merlin »

's up?

What is the most cost-effective way for me to send heavy stuff from here to the USA, and from the UK to here?

There are wheels coming from the UK, four of them.

I've heard of shipping airport to airport or some such thing.

Would this be the best, and if so, how do I go about doing this?

Thanks, N.

speak to a freight company.eg time freight. they can ship it directly for you, or bulk it with other stuff to make it cheaper, but takes longer

Thanks. I'll check it out.

Time is not a problem. Budget is.

The cheapest will be to get it shipped surface mail using the post office, I don't know if the Uk offer that service, but from here out is no problem, but it can take up to 3 months to arrive, you take the stuff to the PO yourself can't be more than 30kg box and has to be less than 900mm long

Thanks. :)

I'll pack 'em up and get a quote on everything.

Still figuring out htF to arrange shipping from the UK. My ambulance seat was 25 GBP, so I might be pushing my luck with a 200 GBP estimate, from the post office.
