After obtaining 3 quotes, we chose  AGS / FRASERS. They have a local depot in Durban, but Frasers are countrywide, so I guess they operate out of Cape Town also. The cost of packing and transport of a 20ft container is R26,500 and the estimated shipping cost is R116,256. This is subject to f...

All the best,

Mike G.

That's not too far from our house in Catral. Hopefully we shall be arriving some time during January. I see you are a very recent member of the Forum.  Are you resident in Orihuela Costa yet ?  Have a very good Christmas and a happy New Year.
