buffalo_bill Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Gentlemen , I was just complaining at a BKK based supplier about delayed shipment and they came back right now and say the port is closed . If so , could anybody heading for Europe these days take about 2300 kgs extra luggage please . Preferably Frankfurt or Amsterdam . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinod Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Gentlemen , If so , could anybody heading for Europe these days take about 2300 kgs extra luggage please . Preferably Frankfurt or Amsterdam . Hi If the port is closed why can't they just send the same by Fedex or DHL, send by air freight :alert: :alert: . Personal baggage of 2,300 kgs would cost a bomb Just another questions, do airlines allow such an extra baggage :question: :question: cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waerth Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Well if you sponsor my ticket I could go to Frankfurt or Amsterdam or anywhere really Waerth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 wearth , you are the only one here whom I trust to carry 2,3 tons safely to Europe lol . BKK port open from tomorrow again , maybe a silly excuse anyway . To ship 2300 kgs by DHL or Fedex should ruin any business , samesame airfreight : 1 kg about 5,50 USD .

YimSiam Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Of course, the port is often closed for religious or royal holidays, however, in this case there is frequently a related government gem sale that more than makes up for the disappointment of the closed port... Perhaps you should suggest to your shipper that he try the ports at Klong Toey, or better yet, Laem Chabang... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalo_bill Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Vinod , they love excess baggage . Reason coming : Charge is close to 1 % of F-class one way ticket price per kilo . So my 2300 kgs would cost you just about 90000 USD on the BKK -> Frankfurt route . Some people might now think this is too expensive but others don't care . I am of the stingy sort of guys and prefer sea cargo by about 1500 USD , don't know exactly how much really . Some airlines follow the piece-concept with extra luggage charging around 190 USD / piece; with my 2,3 tons I might impress them by arriving with a flatrack on a forklift at checkin , I have so far no appropriate experience to be honest . Anyhow the flatrack would show a label syaing priority baggage meaning you would not have to wait long for delivery at destination . Hope I could answer your question .

dullnight Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Bubi, your 2300kg flatrack with a "Royal First Class" tag on it would look just delicious. If TG even dares to try to charge you for the marginal overweight they definetely deserve all the scorn in the world. Waerth gonna be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
