tried a quote for a full 20ft/20T container??

I don't need something that size.

used to send these all the time to the Med (and further than Italy
technically)- approx £900 excluding transport at their end, but
including transport here.....

Fine if the business one is doing is more than a few pallets at a time.

.......but if it's only cheap stuff (hence your wince re shipping
costs) why not bring it in bulk - it's only say 7 pallets to your
break even point - plus you get the extra security of your own
box.....maybe an extra discount from supplier? better still get them
to quote you for delivery "CIF "your place"" and save yourself some of
the grief - maybe they have a tame freight forwarder already with
better prices than you can get?

anyhow I'm sure you've got it covered
