I'm looking to ship heavy fitness equipment to the UK, around 1200kg worth. It's costing me £1500 and the items are about a cubic foot in size (50 of them) - so like 7 cubic feet.
I've seen FOB (free on board) shipping being recommended over CIF and CFR, but it means I have to arrange my own freight forwarder right? (not sure). Does anyone know of a thread where this stuff is explained on the forum, or an article somewhere? I can't find anything that tells me the best ones to use.
Really I'm just wondering what the easiest way to do this is? (as long as it's not ridiculously expensive I don't mind it cutting into margins a bit).
I've heard DDP freight forwarders handle VAT etc and can save me hassle, but I'm not sure how I arrange this.
Do I need to put the freight forwarder in touch with the manufacturer/supplier?
Any help here is greatly appreciated
