Pallet Delivery to France

[Boats&Outboards]

Have a delivery going to ANDERNOS, France. Area code 33510.

It's a Honda 115hp 4 stroke Outboard which weighs lets say 220 kgs with other bits included such a pallet etc. It's going to be about 1.6m in length, 1m wide and will be about 1m high so will not come under the standard pallet dimensions.

I've tried speedshift who have quoted £400+ based on 2 pallets being charged. I found that ridiculous considering I sent one to Germany today through them which cost me £117 ??? I've also tried Kay's transport who have said £200 + VAT based on dimensions above rather than 2 pallets! Reasonable

Anybody have any cheaper options so I can save my customer some cash.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've put in a quote request but not had anything back yet. Im hoping a little gem will come up trumps on here.

Cheers

Give it time if you can the price normally tumbles in a day or two!

All sorted. Thanks. Shipley is a place I've used before it not really looked at recently. This time I've gone with a local agent not through Shipley

Cheers

Beware of Shipley - we get loads of people coming to us who have been promised the Earth and it has all gone wrong.
Strangely we are actually benefitting from shipley - small couriers and white van man bid on things - realise they will lose money on the job or can't make it and book with us instead - can't help laughing - we thought they were a threat - they are great for us!!!
As to that price for France you were prob misquoted by a trainee member of staff. We are pretty much the cheapest around and getting even cheaper as our freight levels keep increasing.
