Hi Everyone,

Just thought I'd share my experience in case anyone is importing a car from the States or wherever.

I tagged into one of their containers and it's the worst experience I've had. Container was late (I had to chase myself) then when it get's to the UK they try charging you for collecting on a Saturday and your apparent 5 days storage "free" runs over weekends so if you can't collect Monday to Friday you'll have to pay a Saturday charge as the warehouse (which they don't own we were told is closed).

I'm not in anyway trying to slam them or breach any Forum rules I just want to share my own experience as they seem very good at hiding any non favourable reviews !

I tagged into one of their containers as I used a US shipping company as it was the quickest way over.

In future pays to only use the tried and trusted !

Never had a problem like that before but we live and learn !

Total loss said:
Have you had a good look underneath yet?
Bent shocks, dented fuel tanks, dented front & or rear valences etc. all possible damage from forklift trucks loading/unloading.
You know what I had a cadillac on Air Ride with a dented fuel tank...

Oh revenge........
