    Cheapest Shipping Option or economic forwarder for a Large Freezer (One Pallet)

    Hi Guys,

    I was wondering if anyone would help me in advising what is the cheapest option in shipping a commercial freezer to the US? Recently, i've sold a commercial freezer on eBay to an American buyer.

    I've really made a blunder in freight calculation and thought the LCL loose cargo (1 pallet) sea freight is cheap. After someone really pays for the goods (USD268 + 30 freight) i've found that the freight itself is even more than the freezer itself.

    Please i'm looking for help for any cheap forwarder out there, i can accept the freight cost to the extent of half the price of the freezer. Otherwise, i would just refund the money to the buyer.

    Thank you very much.

    You charged $30 US for freight from HK to US? Just take the hit to your rep, admit you made a huge mistake and cancel the sale. You will not get a one pallet deal close half the price of the freezer.

    Next time, get proper quotes from proper freight companies.
