Hi guys, I am just about to ship two cars in a container from LA to Tilbury. Can you recommend a UK based agent who can take care of the container once it arrives in the UK? (custom clearance, VAT/Duty, offloading etc). It's kind of urgent banghead

Booked it through Schumacher Cargo. But their UK agent is quoting silly prices

I recently brought in an F100 from Oregon.
I used CFR Rinken who handled it from collection near Portland, Container from LA and UK agent at the docks.
Joe Giranda was excellent to deal with.

The UK agent was Kingstown Shipping. Although the address is Hull they have an office in Felixstowe where my truck came in.

THis was a fair bit cheaper than Schumachers. Might be worth checking if you haven't signed up yet.
Delivery to my home was arranged through Anyvan.com and I got a great quote and delivery to Dorset for £260.
