I need a quick tutorial or data dump from someone on the list of the best way to get heavy parts (e.g., 300lbs) shipped from Europe to the USA. What I need to know is: 1. Least expensive shipment method (by ship) 2. Customs and import hassles 3. Should I use a customs broker or freight forwarding service? 4. Will I save money by picking the shipment up at the harbor in New York or Baltimore? _______________________________________________ Derek Drew New York, NY CEO, ConsumerSearch drew@interport.net 212-580-6486 917-848-6425 (cell; this phone is a reliable way to reach me fast or to leave messages) Alternate numbers for the industrious phone caller that wants to try every avenue: 202-966-7907 (Work), 212-580-4459 (Home), 202-966-0938 (Home) |
