I was unhappy that vitally needed goods were being sent to the Developing World' on a commercial basis. Therefore I decided to negotiate shipping rates with freight brokers at the most competitive rates that I could. As a result I believe that I can offer some of the lowest container shipping prices to charities and NGO's Obviously I make a small charge to cover my costs,but I endeavour to keep this as low as possible. If you require a price from the UK,Europe or North America please feel free to contact me. I will very happy to offer you my advise.
