Freight forwarder in Australia?

fjanon on 18/05/2013 - 07:05

I am missing out on good bargains from OzBargain at the moment since I am in Europe for a bit.

Would someone have a recommendation for a freight forwarder in Australia who ships to Europe?

Cheers,

Fred

I think what you are after is a mail forwarder… not a freight forwarder.
Freight forwarder = for businesses who have shipping container sized quantities they want to move around the world.
Unless you're able to get heaps of bargains that require you to use a shipping container to send to europe, I highly doubt you'd want a "freight forwarder".

Wow. I never would have thought anyone would want to forward anything out of Australia. Australia only has the smallest selection of goods at the highest prices.

It's expensive to ship anything out of Aus as you know, so I doubt there is a market for mail forwarders here. My advice if you have any friends or relos, send it there. Or Auspost has a holding mail service, don't know if they hold parcels though.

Yes, thanks, I was thinking package forwarding and wrote freight… And yes, there is no market for one, as my research showed. Thanks for the advice anyway.
