Air freight advice

Posted by: Ade_52 on 17 May 2008

Hello everyone

My gear has been in storage for the best part of 4 years. I'd now like to get some of it shipped from the UK to New Zealand. Can anyone advise on the best way of doing this - air freight companies, insurance, packaging, pitfalls etc

For now I will be leaving my TT in the UK, with 52/SC, 250, Kans + stands coming to NZ

Thanks

I have previously been recommended a company called Concordia. Check out www.concordiafreight.com . I would advise the equipment be put in their original boxes and then packed together in a purpose-built wooden case.

As your equipment has not been used in four years, they might benefit from a Naim check up before leaving for New Zealand.

Best wishes,

Joe

Ade,

I ended up using the main removals firm. Later I found out they used a local company for air freight that, had I gone direct to them, would have been cheaper and they get custome clearance sorted. That was Halford in Sydney. It may even be reasonable to use UPS or DHL.
