Never mind, it´s a problem other colonials have as well  A few (7, 8?) years ago Geoff W-B and I went to Beltring together. On this short day trip we went from Holland through Belgium and France, before crossing the channel to England. According to him, it takes the same amount of time to pass through a single Canadian province! Apart from that, he was appalled by the fact that as a EU citizen I could pass right though, while he, as a former colonial, was thoroughly scrutinised by a UK customs officer  H.

hanno and the colonials
Hi hanno
Where use to the colonial trust issue. I can't think why it is so. Our nation was built on good honest people who set sail in the hope of finding the promised land. er, sorry. I'll start again. SOME of our great, great x6 grand parents MAY have stolen a loaf of bread to feed their poor, starving children and got nabbed in the act. mmmm, ok. Ok where the result of 200 plus years of breeding from the worst stock you could find..........................AND, where proud of it. So, I understand how Geoff felt. Just because our 6x great grand parents were a bit rough around the edges. Nigel

Right i have had a quote from MJS shipping (Yateley Hampshire) anyone know of this firm ? they have quoted £1677 from Fergus to Liverpool
break down of Base Freight............£1512.00 Forwarding fee........£0045.00 UK customs............£0035.00 Marine Insurance.....£0085.00 have they or i missed anything ? is there anything i should be aware of, i dont want to get stung like others have as i cant afford it. they have told me if i use wood in the loading / securing it has to be treated wood with a certificate present, and the vehicle needs blasted clean and certified by the seller. I am stuck with the loading of the carrier as i have been told the container will be 4ft off the floor which i cant understand why ? why not load it on the floor then lift it onto the ship ? cheers Richard

ok update spoken to the firm the reason for it being 4ft off the deck is the wagon gets sent to the sellers address (with container) so need to figure some way of loading it in, blimey this is a task in itself.
we only have two hours to load it then its £50 per hour the truck has to wait. on top of the quote is the costs for a broker that will need to be sought (at the Canadian end) to see it through Canadian customs. so god knows how much that will cost on top....

Loading
Hi Richard,
No problem to load, find out if there is a a tractor in the area or close by, fitted with a bucket you are talking less tha two tons, that can be lifted easy with a front end loader or small mobile crane, a quick check of the local phone book will find someone, particuly if its in a rural area, Regards Ron
