Freight Charges.....

[wiggy]

Dont know if this is any help to anyone with larger stuff to send / receive, it shows unladen/partially filled vehicles available as well as routes for pickup drop off all over Europe uk/ Ireland and some of the bids you get back for your freight arent that bad. http://www.freightalerts.co.uk/haula...lage=2&view=2# ......(similar to U-ship i suppose), getting quoted between 150-200 GBP (the sensible ones), for a pallet (about 120/100/100 cm weight max 150Kg), getting sent over here with the best ones being;

www.ParcelBroker.co.uk

www.bpsworldcargo.co.uk

www.viadefero.co.uk

Anyone know of any other ones that are worth a try?

Ta as always!

i'm looking for a price to send a pallet over to France aswell Rob.I reacon it will be cheaper for the guy to drive 300km's to collect it from my cousin then to pay for a pallet delivery.My cousin is going over there Thursday and can take the sunroof free of charge for them

Might do to keep an eye on the freight site Rich as there is a couple of runs out by the looks of things (east coast unfortunately tho),
Parcel brokers (Gregg) arent too bad as they do parts of a pallet if you know what i mean! i.e quarter/half/full also it might be worth asking Don at the Via defaro link as they have a run out on sunday going through france to Italy (not the cheapest but might do?) Also waiting to hear back from these folk http://www.chilterntransport.co.uk/delivery_area.htm.
As you said it might be worth driving for them but its just too far for me and i dont have the time (even with a 200 pound quote its still cheaper than getting them locally..looking for about 600 Euro's new even with tax off) Just for an idea http://www.cos-met.it/gomme.htm

http://www.parcel-link.co.uk/ 150 GBP & VAT door to door .......best one so far by 60+ pounds, so will be going with them i think unless some amazing deal comes up!

Hope this is of help to someone
