Extremely recomended freight service

[RichardT10829]

Ok folks as people are often asking about freight services, i can whole heartidly recomend Kingstown Shipping LTD based in Hull (United Kingdom)

I have managed to import my MK1 Carrier to the UK with minimal fuss, i had it collected from the sellers address in Fergus Ontario, haulage to Montreal then loaded onto the "Valentina" shipped to the UK (Southampton) and it shall be haulled to my door in Newcastle (some six hours+ drive from the port) the carrier arrives Thursday morning for me (cant wait)

the firm have excelent comunications and explain everything to you at every stage of the process, they give you a full breakdown in quotation, of which they can taylor the service you require be it door to door or port to port etc etc) response times on questions was litterally ten minutes from my email being sent (obviously during office hours)

i will give a breakdown of my bill to give others an idea of how reasonable they were.

I paid £500 for the carrier itself so the tax etc will be reflected from this.

Position 1 x 20` container at Elora CA, for seller to load
