Default Freight Forwarder/Customs Broker

Hi Folks,

I have shipped some personal goods (furniture) that I bought in Vietnam to Sydney. Unfortunately the freight forwarder that has been in touch is very expensive.

Can anyone recommend a good freight forwarder/custom broker in the Sydney area?

Most Customs Brokers are Expensive in OZ.

About $100 - $120 for them to look at the job, then about $5 per different item desription (Line)

You could give A. Hartrodt a call. they have been good to me. I cant remember the number though.

Good Luck

Thanks, will give them a try. I have been quoted $350! For 1 item of furniture.

Australia really is a rip off for some things, importing being one of them. Plus the duty levels are set incredibly low.
