Title: Vancouver - Overseas shipping agent - Anyone have any contacts
Post by: vwboop on September 22, 2008, 03:58:48 AM

Does anyone have any contacts that they have used to ship a vehicle out of the port of Vancouver to an overseas location? Any info is greatly appreciated :)

Lanny just used someone, I believe it's the same guy that intermeccanica uses...I'm sure Lanny will chime in.

I've used this company for shipping to Australia.  Although I was only shipping personal stuff, not a vehicle, they were very helpful.  I understand that they do ship vehicles aswell.  Hope this is some help,  Cheers.

Allcargo in Richmond. 604 875 6316
Nice folks, good service. BTW, it's gonna be mighty pricey!

Thanks Guys,
I called Astra Int'l and was quoted $1800 to London, and $2000 to Hamburg, Netherlands. Thought that was pretty reasonable. That doesn't include port charges and duty over there, but that won't be my responsibility anyways. I will try Allcargo today for comparison.
