persil Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I need to ship some books from BKK to NY State -USA About 300 kg. Looking for a logistics firm, who can arrange pick-up, maybe crating, paperwork and deliver door to door. Like to minimise cost, so shipping instead or airfreight I think. Any suggestions?

Hugh_Hoy Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Check the yellow pages for freight-forwarders and packers/exporters. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyinEwa/Perv Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm gonna go ahead and be Mr. Obvious. Did you call Fed Ex, DHL or UPS?? If you're looking for door to door, freight forwarders may not be able to do that without using one of the above mentioned anyway so it may be more expensive. No idea, just thinking out loud. I'd call each of them and get a quote and see if they'll do the packing too. That part of it might be rough but maybe they have that service.

The_Munchmaster Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Don't Fed Ex, DHL or UPS charge by weight? So 660lbs of books is gonna cost more to freight than the value of the books? You want to use one of those companies that ships personal effects around the world and charge by volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To date, only on replied to say they didn't do what i want. No other replies. Several of them have websites, but with no email contact address. some of the websites are dysfunctional. One BM gave m a good link by PM, will see where that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
