Default Door-to-port shipping
I'm getting a fairly large load shipped from the USA, and the door-to-port shipping option is $1200 cheaper than door-to-door. The vendor in the USA is organising the shipping.

Has anyone done door-to-port, and what does it entail? Can I just rock up at some local shipping depot and pick up my stuff? Any charges to pay?

The goods are made in the USA, so customs fees will not be huge.

Can anyone offer any advice? Obviously I'd rather a couple of hundred in local costs rather than $1200 extra!
