Thanks consultant and all, sorry I should have mentioned, air cargo is not an option. The products contain a Lithium Battery type power source. And although I think one can obtain a special certificate for air ship of uncharged batteries, it can be quite expensive and slow to organize, hence why I am concentrating on surface freight. So I had a mail from the supplier and it seems that L/pool is the best option in terms of cost, to ship elsewhere will cause the shippers to arrange specific movements, I think we are fitting in with them right now, to arrange out of the current options is likely to cost several hundred USD's So I will run with that and have trucked up from L'pool.
I checked with Bank of Scotland and they can arrange quite easily for £17.50 charge. So that is fine, just now have to find a freight forwarder, any in Edinburgh that would handle a small shipment like this, total weight approx 40kgs 850mm X 400mm X 760mm ?
thanks
