I did say these are the first stop, the definate one to go to.


In view of what I experienced, they are not on my recommended list.

Thanks for your moderation :-)

Would you reccomend another supplier Andy? You are quite right about quality
and shipping. If there any weakness' the voyage and handling at the docks
will find it!

Given your logistics situation, I think I would check with local
suppliers and see where they source products and then stick with major
manufacturers for supply.

The other thing that I would do is to identify the significant sea
freight firms with an operation at your end and work backwards to find
a good one in terms of packing and freighting. Is there somebody
that your company uses for example?

I am doing something quite similar at the moment with a dust extractor
that I am having shipped from the U.S. by sea and it was certainly
better to work backwards....
