Dear Wazuans;

Greetings!

I need ship a tractor from ITALY to kenya.

Please help me out;

1. Which is the best shipping agent out there??

2. Are Italians honest people or will they run away with my cash?

3. Which is the safest way to pay them?

The tractor is in Bologna

Please help.

Wow! So either ALL Italians are either honest or crooks?

Mzee, ever heard of letters of credit? Talk to your bank!

Thanks for your replies guys!


@VVS - Longtime - How about our Gems?? KK / Williamson - mimi siongei!!

Anyway; when you talk of japanese when importing cars - most of them are honest apart from afew crooks here and there and if the company is registered with JUMVEA chances of losing your money are slim. I dont know about business regulation in italy - i am importing for the first time.



@Robinhood - LoCs i know about; but again they are not a guarantee that the guy will not fleece you - he can take his BoL and submit to the bank and he be paid - but might ship junk to me. So i may not really have much control; Now, is there any other way apart from LoC especailly if i can allow the receiving bank to pay the guy after confirming that what i paid for is what has been delivered to me??

@Qsomething - Negotiations already done but the difference between my purchase price and the shipping cost is about 1.5 times - the guy seems to be charging too much for shipment and so i do need if i can to get a reliable shipping agent to directly negotiate shipping and then i connect my supplier in italy and the shipping line.

That is why i am asking!

Acheni maswali mengi - please help with info.

Regards.

LOL... @mjuaji - Well... have you heard of Nosa Costra?

Williamson 280/- (there was a 50/- dividend)
Kapchorua 135/-

Both in my opinion remain undervalued!
