Re: Container Sharing to Mumbai
Can you post more details/links on this company as the cost seems ludicrously cheap (unless the handling charge is massive?)

Re: Container Sharing to Mumbai
The only problem with using a company from goa to ship out stuff is they go through it when it leaves your doorstep and things go missing or get broken and the insurance is near impossible to claim back its happened to 4 people i know, electricial goods, x boxes, stereo systems etc no matter howmuch bubble wrap you put on it they wil undo it and its not the customs office either.

Re: Container Sharing to Mumbai
This is only cost effective for courier type shipments ..... as mentioned by someone else, it becomes incredibly expensive for shipments of any size.
This is not the method you should use to be cost effective for large personal effects.

Re: Container Sharing to Mumbai
This might be worth a phone call?
Interesting to note how Kingfisher regard Goa............no pick up point!
Maybe you can drop things off at VJ's villa at Sinquerim?

Re: Container Sharing to Mumbai
Are you still planning to move your goods to goa? I was thinking of the possiblity that we could share a 20ft container if it is suitable for the both of us. I am looking to move my goods around the 8th of April. Let me know what u think?
