you could also explore using freight forwarders at both ends - one to

I expect a freight forwarder (specialising in Italy maybe) with proper
connections would be able to arrange all this with a known (to them)
partner at the other end i.e. a "one stop shop" jobby?

They work for free do they?

erm... do you?

No. But that's not relevant.

whatever - I was just pointing out the stupidity of your question

20T X 150 = 3000 less cost of box say 1000 = 2000 to break even with
your current situation - bet someone would be interested ...bet you
know better somehow....

Well unlike you I know what I have to buy, how much I can afford, how
much capital I have, how the goods have to be stored, the sort of market
etc. So I know considerably better than you in this instance, yes.

yawn yes yes of course you do it's your business isn't it??!! about
which you haven't said anything xcept "low value", and low quantities
& presumably low sales potential, otherwise Rodney we'd be
millionaires instead of moaning about freight rates for shifting 1
pallet from Italy....

Phrases about grandmothers and eggs came to mind.

and similarly I expect if there's anything in it it'll suddenly become
*your* latest great idea
