Sea Container VS Air Shipping

Sea Frieght...  To be honest we don't do much of it anymore as our airfreight cost/speed V's volume exceeds sea freight inconvenience & ongoing delays nobody wants to wait 3-6 months in reality for a switch or fender or hood.     With over11,500 different parts in vaious volumnes...in a market that needs specialist help and a chance to have parts affordable.. here NOW.....There is NO need to  "Sea Container" shipments are for irregular special order parts, huge big or very heavy like multiple engines etc.. you import by sea. IE 10-16 weeks for example ...IF WE ARE SO LUCKY during 2021- 2022. .more like 5- 6 months can be the lead order times

Sea freight is not always at all viable for many restoration needs so think the way  you need parts.

You can find good suppliers.. bricks and motar based - not here today gone tomorrow ebay  sellers etc.. there is a diference.  Like a lessening few left in Australia.. we've been going for 30 years +. we don't care to be cheap with everything every moment then gone tomorrow..etc.. and not be able to back you up two years from now or afford to fix problems or spend the deposit you give an importer and then get nothing, and will do the right thing... long as & right thru good or crook  health prevails. If you don't care about backup & being able to talk with a human if needed.... go buy on ebay etc... We'll continue to try to do the right thing, day in day out. Thats a bit blunt maybe but prefer to be straight with folk.

Outside of Australia we actually employ our own staff in CA to handle OUR pickups and consolidations. It's a way we can keep massive AIRFREIGHT LOADINGS coming through in  muliples, ever couple of weeks at least & with best use of space & weight. In this time of EXTREME transportation cost increases, high US$ costs of fuel and exchange rate variables we shield many restorers from the worst of this day in day out. WAY above the benefits of a better $ exchange rate, its the stage we are in our organising that helps YOU. 

We don't rip people off. Don't lie to you or play stupid games.
We ask the same from our suppliers... and our customers.
