Title: Shipping from the states
Post by: Fankii-T on January 31, 2008, 22:11:18 pm
Hello, I got a e-mail from a nice guy telling me this was a good site to get some info up on shipping from the states.
I'm Frank Robert From the west coast of Norway and I'm looking at this 65beetle on thesamba right now.

I don't know much around shipping and taxes and all of that thing, and I maybe get a replay to search, but I want some info and my own thread so I can ask further info if I get something I don't really understand, and thanks for helping me out ;D

So is there anyone who can help me out with a detailed list of shipping??
Ask if I shoul be more specific around my question, but ringht now I don't know much so I'm asking for overal info..

Thanks
Frank RT

Good luck with calship, allow around 2 months waiting time + the 31 days it takes with the boat.

Best rgs

Thanks mates ;)

Able cargo in Carson. www.ablecargo.com i think, i use them all the time, perfect.

I use kingstown shipping in the UK to deal with Able, they are very good, speak with Steve, Mark or Alan tel 00 44 1482 374116

be care full with import tax in norway.

all you need to ship is the title (registration document) where in Norway are you located ?

yes ive been to bergen, it may be cheaper to import the car to the uk then onto norway.....

when you get the bill of sale its worth asking for one at a realistic price i.e. 2000-3000 USD

hope this helps

ok, thanks :) I got an old teacher I'm going to call tomorrow, he did some import when I was a school, maybe he knows a few tricks ;D

So I talk with the seller and work out for a normal market value price for cars here in norway like 2-3000 and he write that down insted of the 9500asking price??
This was how I did understand it :)

And then I can squise the final price down a bit more :D
