Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but had a scan through and appears most questions related to shipping of cars etc
There is a certain upholstery that I want to get that is sold by CJ Pony or TMI. I created an account to see what it might cost just to purchase directly with international freight, but I really have no idea why there is such a difference in cost for the four options offered by CJ Pony. I am in no rush to have it delivered but just cannot understand all the references to different charges that may be incurred from various handlers etc....
I have cut and paste the different options below for a full seat of seat upholstery that comes in at approx. $500 aus dollars. Am I missing something if I just choose the cheapest option or am I going to get stung with a heap of hidden charges from customs etc that I didn't expect? As I said sorry for such a basic question I just cant see why such a massive difference in cost
