Question: Hi,

Could you advise the commodity inside the crates.
Not sure if you are familiar with air freight shipments but if cargo is too dense to be xrayed extra charges for secondary screening RASCO/REST which increases the cost.

Thanks

Response: Hi Andrew,

Yes I am familiar with REST. No need to account for that in your quote, I will add £0.13 - £0.14 p/kg to your quote which I guess should cover it??

The comm is lifting equipment made of steel. Shipper is a company based in Francecalled ADC Fayat Group if you want to check their website to see what products they make.

Best Regards,
Richard

Question: Hi Richard,

Sorry if I sounded condescending, its amazing how many people out there dealing with airfreight cant grasp secondary screening etc so best to check.
I can quote ex CDG for example if it would maybe save you a few quid importing by road?

I am working on LHR-BAH rate and will reply shortly.

Kind regards

Response: Hi Andrew,

No problem, you can only imagin how difficult I find it trying to explain to my guys in the middle east about secondary screening, the selective hearing kicks in when you start to mention extra charges!!

I have a rate ex CDG which all inc comes to around €12,836 EUR so from experience I think trucking it back to the UK will pay but by all means you can quote ex CDG.

I also have a rate on the DHL (airline not courier) but the service is a bit hit and miss towards the end of the week (I know this from experience).

Best Regards,
Richard
