Shipping/Freighting BL5's + other goods from UK - advice please

12 replies
Ask your dealer for a quote as DSV are the main shipper for B&O, in the UK we have our own contact. The reason for using DSV came about because they know the cubic measurement of the product on its own pallet, we used FEDEX before and were quoted one price based on the measurements we gave them and when it came to it the price went up by 30% because they then place the consignment on its own pallet taking up more space, we were not impressed or amused so decided to use DSV and the client then makes their own arrangement for collection from the airport/ports bonded warehouse.

I ship my BL5's around with me everywhere I get assigned. Fabbed a couple of flight cases and used the original poly-packing. After 9 years goinal all around the world, they are still in perfect condition.

BL5's are 61kg each and add another 20 on for packing and the pallet. More if you use plywwod or flight case.

 

G'day,

Sorry if this is off topic, but i'm curious, i've read your posts in the past and remember you saying you travel with your speakers; how often do you get moved around and who unloads and installs the beasts??
