    Hi,

    I'm looking to get a few reasonably bulky parts shipped over to Australia from the US in a container rather that by air and am looking for a good reliable freight forwarder. Can anybody recommend somebody?

    Thanks for the help!

  2. I have heard and read a few good things about Al Montana, ex Aussie now in the US. I think he mainly does cars however might be worth an email. If I had bought my car on the west coast rather than the east coast I would probably have used him. http://montanaexports.com/

    I've used www.calimage.com.au previously with quite a few large bulky items. Items have always arrived and rates have been reasonable but be prepared to wait! Their advertised delivery timeframes are way off the mark, I had to actually wait nearly 3mths and I did what was required having it at their US address (www.***anship.com ) in LA with sufficient time for loading. I bought some large parts for a friend and he waited 6mths :eek: with no apology. He did everything and they kept making excuses, all their fault. They even abused him in the end when he complained. :eek:

  7. Jas Jenners is a real good outfit. They ship the Aussie touring cars around and do a lot of high end auto stuff.They treat us plebs pretty good too though :)
    I've used them twice, one car from Oz and one from Colorado, absolutely professional and painless.
