Sea freight from Calcutta
yes, I've heard and read the horror stories, but is it still feasable?
Airfreighting my bike from Kathmandu to Auckland New Zealand is going to cost $2000. Calcutta is 1000kms away. Does anyone know of any agents where I can get a sea freight price from in Calcutta? Cheers Fern |
also does anyone know of airfright agents in Delhi? Wondering if airfreight to NZ is any cheaper from India?
Thanks F |

Hi Fern,
Quick note, did you end up doing this? We are looking at shipping from Syd to Calcutta also, or flying straight to Kathmandu... Hope your trip was a success! Cheers Tom |

I shipped a Landcruiser from Calcutta in early 2008.
It WAS an absolute nightmare, but a lot of this was my fault as I hadn't understood the process, specifically the need to book it WELL in advance. The company I used was LCL Freight Solutions Pvt Ltd, 3, Wood Street, Park Street, Kolkata - +91 33 22813769 Contact name is Amit Bhaduri - I will PM you his email address if you want it. Hope this helps Mark |
