International Ocean Freight

Have you ever tried to get a quote to ship a set of Golf GTI seats to Saudi Arabia? Or Scirocco fenders from England to the U.S. via ocean freight?

It's pretty much impossible. I've filled out 7 freight site registrations (or tried to) from Maersk to "weshipstuff.com" and gotten nowhere.

Has anyone found a site that works? When you call they say go to the site. Which doesn't work.

Thanks, I've tried some of those, DHL was horrible. Others I couldn't get through to a next screen.

I will work through the list tomorrow.

You could try Flexport too. They're relatively new and are a tech based "hands off' type.

I clicked on them yesterday, they looked like a supply chain solution.
