Would you know of any trustable and good rates for freight forwarders to Nigeria (Lagos/Togos). It is a bit rare to find a company who will contain risk of shipping there for decent rates, and it is also our first shipment going to this country... any help for minimizing cost/time/risk in finding this would be appreciated.. your blog is most definitely the truth!autowinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765395102615658639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726401108704027247.post-18652099624023653812012-03-04T09:34:38.148-06:002012-03-04T09:34:38.148-06:00LMG, I don't like to give ballpark figures sim...LMG, I don't like to give ballpark figures simply because I can't factor in a few key points. One, gas prices are about to climb. How high, I have no idea. Two, it's been about 5 years since I personally used to give quotes, I know the prices involved each freight forwarders individual contracts with the ship lines and each contract involved quantity, frequency, origin and destination. Three, I don't know where you are shipping from. You could easily call a freight forwarder and ask, however. Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655147780375093626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726401108704027247.post-83039592910532017282012-03-04T09:32:01.544-06:002012-03-04T09:32:01.544-06:00Hi Olivia D, that's a good question.

Also, you would be able to ship other items with the car, whereas, as you read in the post, I absolutely do not recommend shipping a car Ro/Ro with belongings inside, based on my own personal experiences working in the industry. You would have to compare prices to see how much the different prices work out. I'll talk more about it in the next few posts about shipping overseas. Hope that helps!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655147780375093626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726401108704027247.post-26875344255258491192012-03-03T23:44:20.367-06:002012-03-03T23:44:20.367-06:00Also, out of curiosity, why would you choose the c...Also, out of curiosity, why would you choose the container over the Ro/Ro?oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13371993808242884849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726401108704027247.post-56892407821047087332012-02-27T16:26:23.434-06:002012-02-27T16:26:23.434-06:00Very timely post for us!

We didn't even look into it when we moved to Gdansk for a year.LMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16517476941387230210noreply@blogger.com
