Consolidating and shipping spare parts overseas.

I'm certain I saw a thread about a forum member who has a company doing the above. No amount of searching has brought it up for me. Anyone remember anything?

Any reputable shipping company would do this for you. I am assuming that you want to order your goods from the UK have them delivered to a shipping company, who would hold them for you and ship them anywhere in the world, once you were ready. They would also document the export so that the goods were zero rated for VAT, if they were shipped out of Europe. If you order huge amounts they would go by seafreight container, either as a full container FCL or as a part load LCL. If you had small amounts or wanted the goods more urgently,then they could be packed and shipped by air.

If this is the sort of thing you have in mind then PM me and I will put you in touch with my old partner. He works out of the London area but would be able to answer all your questions.

You would expect to pay a fee for handling and for storage, if a long term. The freight would be quoted by weight or measurement and you would be given the name of the local agent, who would clear customs for you and arrange delivery.

The company you're thinking of is based in Shrewsbury. I can't remember their URL or contact details but If I find them I'll get back to you. Although I imagine someone will be along in a minute!

I can personally recommend them, they've been shipping to me all over the place for a few years now. Great service, nice people and really easy to work with.

As they say, they do know boats, they sail one!

Many, many thanks to all posters. Ship2ship was the one I was looking for.

If you are in the Caribbean and shipping stuff out of Florida Tropical Shipping will do it.
