we are thinking of getting some parts from china (sorry)
it will be 2 boxes (SAY 50 X 50 X50 Centimetres) total weight 82 kilos
we are in no rush
so want it to come by sea to keep the cost down
our supplier has said the shipping will be free
as in they will pay the sea cost
we just need to arrange to get it from felixstowe to m/cr
sorry i hadnt really asked a question
how much can we expect tp pay for a freight handler to get it to us once its here in the uk . and can anyone recomend any companies who can help???
Your best bet is to google 'freight forwarder felixstowe', and get the usual laundry list of possibles. E mail them to get a comprehensive quote (customs clearance, any warehousing, delivery). On the google results, there were not many big players at the top, which is probably ok because they will not really be interested in a small one off job
Actually your shipping items are suitable to be transported via China sea freight service. Your supplier means that the costs you charged for the items includes the shipping rates, thus won't keep your cost down.
In fact, you can completely choose a China Freight forwarder to handle your shipping procedure, which might be cost-efficient.
