Shipping @ pallet from England

redGhia · 23-09-2005, 09:43 AM

Hi Guys,

I need to get a pallet sent over from Dorset (Bournemouth) - England to Adelaide Aust.

The english are hopeless when it comes to organizing freight etc etc , I was hoping that someone would know of a carrier that would be able to get my car parts over here (prefebaly on air freight )

I allready have another pallet coming from a diffrent company but they havent told me who it is yet or con note #'S

I know that this is probably posted in the wrong place but didnt know where else to put it

Thanks,

Ash

I had a fairly large parcel shipped from the UK a couple years ago... wasnt that expensive ( Was customs that cost me more than anything

: ) Ill see if i can find out who it was through.

The other pallet is costing me about 300 pounds to be shipped , so $$ isnt a huge problem - Id rather the pallet get here in one piece

i wasnt expecting many replys to this thread - Thanks guys :-)

AHghgh, DHL want $2600 with no insurence ..... I know u said they were expensive but ......... Oh well still alot cheaper than the contents of the pallet

Other reputable shippers are Australian Air Express - though that will be as expensive if not more so than DHL, but worth investigating.

DHL give you really nice tracking on the web.

You could try some local Aussie mob's like Star Track Express, or your local "Pack n Send" office.

Yeah AAE are expensive , i have an account with most of these companies through work but the trouble is getting them to let me use it, It wouldnt be a problem if the accountents didnt mind lol

Anglo pacific. There's a www but I can't remember it. There's a bunch of companies over here that send all types of stuff back home via sea/air. Try a search for tnt magazine and there should be a bunch of links for compainies that ship stuff to aus/nz etc.

just found this for you:

How soon do you want it? Barring Customs holdups Fedex can have it here in 3-4 working days to your door. Go to www.fedex.com.au

Meh, fedex... DHL will get it from LHR to ADL in 2 business days, then u have to look at customs of course, because it will be going through. If the value of the freight plus the cost of shipping is over i think $250 then shipments automatically get pulled up by them. But as stated previously u will paying a fir bit for the freight...

AAE, they are the most useless croud of people in the world

Give DHL a call, 13 14 06, might be able to work something out... oh and there no press 1 to go here, press 2 to go here rubbish, its answered by a real person.

does this sound like an add?

Thanks guys, Toll Global will deliver it to me in about 5 days for just over $1000 - Works out to be $60 cheaper than the sea freight which takes 50 days

too bad they cube freight otherwise would only cost around $600 . Do i pay gst on the goods that are being imported ?

Ps, Allready tried fedex , they wond do it

Now all i need to do is get a car shipped from Brunswick to Adelaide , The car is in drivable condition so im assuming this will be the easy part
