Shipping Company/Cargo

[maxine]

Hi anyone know of a GOOD!!! shipping company from Las Palmas to UK.
One that hopefully i don't have to wait 6 months for my things to arrive like i did here, Or that wont steal any of our things, as you may have guessed had bad experiance getting here!!!!
Also am having probs trying to find cargo flights as want to send some things back before, know one seems to know what they are doing??? Very much COMPUTOR SAYS NO!!:veryangry:
And please don't say leave things behind as i it does'nt pay to do this after you work out the cost of replacing everything. Thank you people :crazy_love:

Phoenix travel are very reliable. They advertise in tips and probably RTN. They are based in San Fernando
928 77 64 96
info@phoenix-trans.com

We used them to change number plates on a motorbike and they were very good. Although thats not moving stuff to UK they were efficient in that department.
We used Dolphin from the UK and they were linked with MPG in Las Palmas.

There is a man with a van who advertises in tips, who does trips to the UK moving people or things. If you have an address that would accept stuff for you, then he may be an option. I think he was 300 €per cubic metre (does that sound right?)

We used pheonix travel but from the uk to here and they were very good, long time scale though, as Mary said Andy from Ap transport is very reaonable he has an advert in tips and RTN.

Our stuff was picked up from brighton, taken to Harwich - waited in Harwich for a week
Went on ship - was it 3 weeks or something
Sat in LP whilst we argued about who had paid for what with customs
Truck brought it to our house and emptied container. it was sealed in our prescence in Brighton and unsealed in our prescence at our house here.
Maximum it all took was about 3 months or maybe less. Only one thing got scratched and that wasnt really noticable

Have you asked the post office!? Sounds daft I know and internationally might be far from the best option but I had a freind who just moved here from Barcelona and posting things over here in big boxes worked half the price of the shipping companies. They insure things against loss and damage just like the shipping companies would and are quick.

Have you thought about contacting a shipping line directly, you may save a bit of money doing the running around yourselves

These people run a service from the Gran Canaria to the uk and would be able to give you a contact in Gran Canaria
