40' container Ex Alabama to NI for sub £2800.00

Anyone want to go "halfers" on an order Ex Cooks saws, or near thereabouts.

I have heard on another site that 40' containers out of Virginia are running $2500.00

Probably so, Virgina being substantially nearer the East coast ports?

As I understand the overland element is always more pricey than the trans-Ocean element

Plus as a private or "non-business" shipper I get politely invited to bend-over.

Hey-ho

Knowing what I have both been quoted, and indeed paid, to bring stuff from the "English" mainland to Northern Ireland, I thought, for the vast distance involved, that this was a quite reasonable quote.

Though I would be seeking another couple of competitive quotes before committing.

You are a wise man.

You can put an absolutely fearsome amount of stuff in a 40 foot container if you know what you're at.

 

I've had to help unload very well packed ones in the past and when what was in it was strewn out over the factory floor you'd have thought it came out of 6 of them!

If you had seen what I and the Mrs. routinely brought back from Germany, France and Spain in der Galaxy, along with ourselves and 2 weans.

No I would not be at all surprised:001_tt2:

But even my combined credit cards would be more than maxxed out before I filled a 40' ISO Container, even the space left around a sawmill.

Bingo

Got it!

Genuine American kiln dried Hickory firewood.

Wonder what price that is stateside?
