Yeah- they don't give a rat's ass about other people's cars. I've been up there on several missions, and have seen the way they treat cars. It's pathetic at best.

From my front door in Mittelbrunn to Houston, all customs paperwork, ocean frieght, and port of entry clearance paperwork...$1160. Anyone ship a car at their expense that can tell me if this is a good estimate? I haven't found any better ones yet. |

That's a steal! Is that all taxes included because normally it's around 1500-1600. Who is this through? I may go that route when it's time to ship the Toy. |

I have head that you can ship an extra car back "space-A" for around $500 with the same folks that ship most of the cars back and fourth for the military. I too am interested in this. tom |

That's a good deal. Since I'll be using the Gov for the wife's car, I will be paying for mine to be shipped. |

I asked Transcar last week or two about shipping back at my expense. Apparently they used to, but had to quit due to a conflict of interest with their contract with the US government. The company I talked to is called Worldwide Shipping Agency in Bremen. I don't have the numbers with me but can send them to anyone interested. I'm now thinking of sending the Z-28 back through them and the T/A through the USG. I'd rather drive the T/A the 4.5+ hours back from Dallas VPC and the Z the 3+ hours from Houston. John, the dude I spoke to said $1060 from my door to Houston, $70 more for the port fees at the other end. I figured in another $100 instead. I was expecting $1300 to 1500 myself. |

From what I've heard here before, you should probably ship the "better" car privately ... less danger by @$$hole loading crew people etc. ... |

Barry let me have those numbers when you have time. Thanks. Shipping to the door? I've never heard of that. Always though it was at the port. |

Shipping to the door would be perfect. Put it on a trailer at the port, and deliver it without them even having to touch it.

They take non-op cars... $50 fee if you drop it off at port, if they pick your non-op at the house add $62.50. |
