Thanks for the comments so far. I have got online banking with The Bank of Scotland, but I expect for T/T it is specific rather than just a standard transfer? I will call into the branch tomorrow. I actually have the CIF invoice here now, and it is scheduled to ship to Liverpool? Apparently they had difficulty locating any options they can deal with further North? No idea why. I am on the east coast in fact, North Berwick, east of Edinburgh, so I did ask if Leith could be the port of landing, but seems to be a no go. Actually being samples, although combined weight is approx 20kgs it may be that they are finding free space in a container bound for Liverpool, that now on the face of it seems most likely. So, getting it here from L/Pool.? Should I just call up one of the major couriers or Parceline or something and arrange a pick up there, and pay the customs before collection? Maybe the suggestion of the freight forwarder in Livingston would handle all that, customs VAT etc. What kind of charge are they likely to charge, is it based on value?
Thanks for the help folks, I guess we all have to start somewhere eh? LOL
