I was looking to ship my things from Los Angeles, California to Vienna, Austria, overseas. Moving from one place to another. I was looking for different shipping quotes, with picking up my things and/or bringing my things myself to the warehouse.
I got several different quotes from different companies and yes Crown International Forwarder made the best offer. Almost a third of other quotes. But with my own delivery to the warehouse. I called them up and only one person, Chris Neo, spoke with me and kept being the only person to deal with. Like a one man show, I feel.
I asked him how he could be possibly so cheap and he told me it is our outstanding customer service and we get mostly word of mouth referrals and that way we can be so competitive. He said that there also would be a destination charge as an agent would get my things released at customs. It would be about €150.
I decided to give it a go. He also said that if I pack it myself and bring it to the warehouse, the warehouse staff will carry the load for me and put it on pallets and shrinkwrap it, that is called palletization and I would have to pay a little bit extra, But that way the single boxes would not be all over the place. But he would not give me an exact quote, he just said it wouldn't be much more. So I trusted him. I expected a final bill around $1,200.
He gave me the warehouse address where to bring my things. I wanted to save as much money as possible as I was shipping from oversees,
I packed my own stuff and rented a uhaul to transport it to the warehouse. Last minute Chris told me that the place to transport it to is a different one than originally. So I had no chance to inform myself about the terms and conditions of that 'new' warehouse. St. George Warehouse, Inc.
