I'm not really that worried about parts going missing, especially if they are all inside of the car and its sealed up. I will also be insured for the full value of the items shipped. I just want to make it easier to move around without the excess baggage and save a substantially amount to ship.
I did look into getting a crate made, however a forklift to move made that a non starter for me. I want the ease of being able to roll it onto and off of a trailer/truck on both ends of the sea journey.
So far I'm pretty happy with my freight forwarder here in Norway, helpful and knowledgeable. They ship lots of cars to Norway in shared containers and have their own warehouse in NJ where the car will be loaded, once its through their gates i should be golden.
I'm picking the car up with a flat bed trailer on my side but I have not figured out how to get it safely from ERA to NJ. I'll ask Peter if he has a trucker in the area that he recommends.
