    Guys, I need some non-Tacoma related help. I am in need of a freight forwarder to arrange LCL oceanic shipping and I have never done this before. I need a company with services in the London area and I need items shipped to either the port of Houston or Galveston, Texas. Does anyone on here know of anything that might help me? It's very difficult to correspond with folks over there due to the $3/min long distance call fees. Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

    No idea but I’d suggest online correspondence or something like WhatsApp, no charges

    I work at a freight broker and use forwarders for import/export but all we are doing is marking up their services. My main forwarder is Freight Right so that would be a good starting point and it would avoid the middle man markup. But I'm not sure if they help individuals or only commercial goods. They are based out of the Los Angeles area I believe.

    Can't call land lines or business phones with WhatsApp. That's the main issue there
    Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out
