Time to ship home

(1/2) > >>

UK_Al:
The time is approaching when I will have to start making arrangements to ship my motorhome back to the UK, or at least seeing whether it is worthwhile.

I have searched all the posts and gained much valuable information and have come accross one shipping company
Trans Global   -  http://www.tgal.us

(The links to  ablecargo   http://www.ablecargo.com/Automobile_Shippi...Coast_Rates.htm

and

from postings on

Topic 4655  http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php?topic=4655.0

no longer work)

and one shipping agent Brunswick International  http://www.brunswickinternational.co.uk/

Can anyone suggest any other companies that engage in this type of business. I always like to get at least 2 or 3 quotes before making a decision!


Any help would be great. Thanks.

I have just shipped my RV home 26th March arrived Southampton 17th May.
I used Simms ,Walters Associates Inc.
They are in Jacksonville Florida, contact phone number is 904 356 4455 ask for Sandra she will do all the paper work booking ect ect for you very simple and easy.

I shipped out of Brunswick Georgia to Southampton no unloading in Europe and being re- loaded  on another ship also i was informed by several sources that Brunswick
is safer for your gear you stow in the lockers , i had no damage or theft of property .
Shipping line was Wallenius.
Agent to do all the paper work and customs clearance in UK was Wainwright Bros Co Ltd of Southampton telephone No 023 8022 3671 ask for Sabine Sanderson or e-mail sabine.sanderson@wainwrightgroup.com
total i paid was $3170 payable when it arrives in the  UK to Wainwright that is for both companies fees and shipping no hidden cost,s
Hope this helps.

$3170 is a great price.

How long is your RV?

Hi Paul
It Is a B Touring Cruiser by Gulf stream 30 feet  long 2 slides  96 inches wide  and 10 feet 6 inches high,
i spoke to you whilst we were in the USA we down graded from a class A Tiffen Alegro 32 feet long 2 slides which we had for 8 months touring,  great RV
but decided to down grade to something more UK friendly.
Did i do the right thing only time will tell we had it for 4 months in the USA mainly touring around Florida during the winter, we did miss the space we had
at first but got used to it.
Import was no problem.

UK_Al:
Hi Fred,

Thanks for the information. I will certainly contact this company.

Did you imply that you were allowed to ship stuff inside your vehicle. I had heard previously from somewhere that this was not allowed by one shipping company whose name I forget. We certainly have gathered a fair amount of 'stuff' on our travels some of which would be useful if we can get it back - but not that useful that I would want to pay too much for shipping it separately.

Regards

Alan
