Post new topic

Ok still haven't gotten a response from the Mediterranian Shipping people need to email again. Mudanza haven't been able to call yet because want a more fluent speaker to call. I did find out that Mailboxes Etc ships things, big things including cars and furniture! I never knew that!!!! My friend Kimberly who works there is looking into my situation for me. I sent her photos and dimensions but couldn't give her weights though....Crossing my fingers and hoping so hard cause they are local and reputable company. Stay tuned....

Ok have one answer finally.....MailBox Etc will send my stuff in a crate on a plane??? That is what I was told today by an employee who is trying to help me figure it out. Supposed to do a conference call to answer my questions and hammer down details. The price quoted is high but cheaper than I paid to come here. They unless the "boss" says different $2,000 US.  When we sell the house I will happily pay that to keep my mom happy and know our treasures will make it back.

So there you have it! Will keep inquiring about other companies. Thing is MailBox Etc is reputable company. They will airship our stuff so less wait time. After our nightmare experience with Shipping Quest I am leary of boat shipping. Will keep you posted.

Thanks for the update!

That is for an estimate of 700 pounds....We are evaluating and exploring ALL options.

700 lbs -- Air Freight.

Pls let us know how they price that.

Glauriel

Not sure what you mean....told me by the weight and we are guestimating that weight. It could actually be little less or more if my calculations are really off but don't think so. Also waiting to hear the logistics of pick up and delivery on the other end. Still don't have that info....stay tuned...So far no other companies have responded but I am like a Jack Russel looking for the rabbit in the hole...Won't stop till find it!

I mean it won't be cheap.....
Air freight is spendy.....

Saudis fly their cars to NYC like that....

You may be surprised - I hope not

Glauriel

Not surprised except that its less than I expected....One must do what one must do...
