Be very careful with Able Cargo and their UK counterpart Wavecrest, lovely people until things go wrong....
1/ What they quoted for one RV $7500 turned into $9050 without warning at the time of UK collection, they said it was remeasured, I in fact measured correctly the cube size of the vehicle with folded mirrors, the shipper Wallenius Wilhelmsen remeasured from extended door mirrors then when I collected they were folded flat.... funny business methinks...
Worst of all...
When I went to collect a vehicle from the port it was damaged,
1/ Did the shipper Wallenius Wilhelmsen want to know? = NO :x
2/ Did my agents Wavecrest and Able Cargo want to know? = NO :x
Thankfully I took marine insurance, but even this was hard work, and I had to pay for the repair and claim back (normal practice on marine based claims)
All in all my experience of importing is a nightmare.... Yes you can save money but is it worth the hassle?
Before anyone asks - yes I did have a dabble, but what I have said above is absolutely true.... you can go stateside spend weeks looking for the perfect vehicle, go through all the buying hassle then insurance hassle then shipping hassle stateside only to find that when you collect your pride and joy in the UK its damaged and nobody wants to know... :evil: would I do it again? NO!
