Hi All,
Although most of you have not shipped overseas, doubtless a few have and might be able to provide some insight. I have found that it will be less expensive to ship my Ulster rep by air that renting an entire container for 50+ days. My shipper has informed me that by container, the container gets tossed around, might have leaks etc. Today, he indicated that the car will be secured to something called a "cookie sheet" and Steve((Hodgson) should provide a set of instructions as to where to tie down and where not to push(like the tail). He indicated that the guys at air cargo are minimum wage(mooks) and can be heavy handed. Do any of you have advice or horror stories of which I should be aware?
Any help is much appreciated as I want to get my newborn to the US in safety.
Best, Erich
