But still struggling to find shippers, worked out it's freight forwarders I need.

So far I've only found this place
http://www.gbsfreight.co.uk/index.htm
WE COLLECT - WE STORE - WE SHIP : Door to Door

Still waiting for a quote from them, but struggling to find any others.

Can't remember the name of the company we used to ship my sisters stuff back from the states, but I do remember that they never cashed the cheque

Glaucus · 18-11-2009, 19:55

can anyone tell me what all this means please

Pier Pass Surcharge
Clean Truck Fee
Bill of Lading Security Fee
AES Fee
Handling Fee
LCL Rate

and can anyone point me in the right direction to work out import tax/duty

Sounds like they're tacking on all sorts of "fees" to jack up their rates. I mean, "clean truck fee"?? Sounds like they're charging YOU for someone to sweep the delivery truck out. "Pier pass surcharge"? Shouldn't the shipping company already have pier security badges? "Handling Fee"? Isn't that what Shipping and Handling is??

Unless it's already shipped, I'd tell them to get stuffed and that you're going elsewhere that won't charge you extra crap (some of it may be illegal) and try to get away with it.

It's just a quote and one of the cheaper quotes at that. Just wondering what they all were and if they are normall.
