Small pallet to USA - Pricing

[justinbaker]

Afternoon all,

I manufacture a smallish but heavy restoration machine, and I am trying to ship one to the USA.
I am struggling to find a suitable shipping company, the dimensions are within Euro-pallet size, and I have used a galvanised shipping crate I specially made, due to the restrictions for timber export, but my first enquiries are astonishing.
Does anyone else ship regularly to the USA, I need a door to door service too.





Many thanks in advance.

Justin Baker

Speak to NNR - http://www.nnruk.com

They were recommended to me on here when I was trying to ship 4-5 pallets to South Africa by air.

Very helpful, dealt with all my stupid queries having never done international shipping before, and I thought the pricing was pretty fair.

Cheers Graham, I have just sent them an email with the pictures, dimensions, and the addresses. Fingers crossed they get back to me.

What are the timber export restrictions you mention? If you get a packaging/shipping company to crate it for you the timber will be treated to the required specification.

Is the shipping crate the boxy bit on the bottom? Are you trying to fly it out or can it take longer by ship?

The timber restrictions are on treatment, the boxy bit is now the crate and expendable at delivery.
It could certainly go via ship, but the door to door service would need to be in place.

Get it packed with treated wood with the ISpm logo on. Job done
Get your consiignee to do it ex works

The state would make a difference but I would estimate £450-600.
There are other considerations with pallet deliveries to the USA, PM if you want my agent details.

Try either Concordia or Woodland Global, either will be able to sort this for you
