Exporting a table

[philip in china]

You wouldn't believe the trouble in getting an experienced table fitter, a labourer and the truck all at the correct place at the same time. Anyway it looks as if it is all coming together for the first week in July.

On this note, does anyone know anything about international shipping? I have the opportunity to get a full size table at a phenomenal price, but it would need to be shipped from the UK to Australia. Does anyone know if this is even possible or feasible? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Like an earlier post said "buying the table is the easy part", now I have to get it home.

If the table is in Ipswich I can't see how you would have a problem getting itto the docks! I happen to know a guy who is currently trying to get some stuff sent out to Australia from UK. You might be able to get your heads together and share part of a container. If you want details why not send me a PM.

Well my table should be on its way by now. I am waiting for an email from my son, in UK, to confirm that it has gone. I am pretty sure it has gone as otherwise I would have heard. I just hope it gets there safely.

Have now heard it has been collected and so is now somewhere between England and Bulgaria. It should be waiting for me when I get there next week.

Hi folks, I am looking for the cheapest and reliable shipping service to send my table from UK to India. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

I had forgotten this thread. So it's 12 years since I got my table.
