more than ParcelForce for small and light articles. goods take 4 - 7 days to arrive.

days.

By Sea:
AngloPacific is an efficient and well run company that
packs, insures, clears customs and delivers to your door. They use Ship by Sea and
therefore have control over the shipment from door to door.
For an English Bracket clock it costs around $200 and for a Tallcase clock around
$450.
Advantage:
They will unpack your item and remove the crate and packaging material for
you.
Disadvantage: Takes along time to arrive.
Air Freight:
Depending where
you live air freight can be remarkably fast, and always much quicker than by
sea. Your item will arrive at your door. The disadvantage with air freight
is that you will have to unpack and dispose of the packing material, however
customers have often found alternative uses for our sturdy packing crates!
Air freight usually costs about the same as sea freight.
