Hi fellow pistonheads. I am currently in the process of buying and shipping a car from the UK to Iceland where I live. The man I am doing buisness with wants to use this company www.stillerlogistics.com/ for transport. I have never heard of this shipping company and was wondering if any of you have any experience with it or have heard of it in general? One is ever so wary of interenet fraud while shopping the dream vehicle.
All feedback appriciated.

Not paying by bankers draft are you? Only joking.

Horrid website for this company and slightly odd details. The web site states the the Head Office is in the UK and that there are offices in UK and Australia but the website is registered to Stiller Logistics in the US. Below are the details of the search. It might be worth contacting them directly as this seems a bit odd.

Thank you for this, something smells wrong when a company called Stiller-Logistics Royal shipping is based from the US. If so then this is a very elaborate fraud with alot of work in making the website. (A part from being pretty ugly) If the company has been in buisness since 1987 then someone here should know of it and have some experience.
I'm going to try to contact them with the info you gave me.

Its a scam. Look at www.cargomotion.com its the same website with diffrent addresses but the same phone numbers. Stiller Logistics Ltd is not listed as a company in the UK at Companies House www.companieshouse.gov.uk. The domain name was first regisered 16th of September this year.

Hehe, silly me. I googled the Australian headquarters phone numer and this came up www.google.is/search?hl=is&q=Phone+Number%3A+%2B+61+8+8447+1870&lr=

First two matches are "Beware of fraud" sites. Sooo I guess these is no BMW for me then

Thank you, I've been a fan of the website for a long time.
When I dug deeper I found out that this is a car sold on ebay in the states. Not a bad looking vehicle I must say
