Some suggestion to USA shipment:
Be carefull to don’t give your shipment to unknow companies, some times you can receive quotation that at first sight could seems very low, sometimes could seems too low , there are companies that are not aware of USA regulations or avoid to not give you the real situation because they are interested only to get yr goods to make profit, now after 11 September, security level is carefully monitored by USA Authority and in some circumstances not accomplishing the requested rules and documentations could generate some loosing of money because of expensive fine ! Looks always who is the company you are talking with , from how many years is working on the market , be carefully that some time companies that are able to do excellent local labour job as to load/discharge pack/unpack are instead completely not able to handle export and international documentation to USA rules and this could put you in real danger to loose lot of money or even to loose your goods
Last not last don’t wait further , ask us for your request and you’ll receive our prompt and professional free quotation.
buonasera.

I miei più cordiali saluti,
Ho necessita’ di fare un semi trasloco in Italia, io mi trovo in Italia adesso ma la mia roba e’ in deposito in Andover , Massachusetts, USA. Sono alcuni mobili ed effetti personali , casse , borse, valigie, ecc. Per lo sdoganamento posso fornire documenti perche’ ho vissuto in America per 25 anni e sono tornato in Italia questo Marzo 2019, c’e’ un anno di tempo quindi ho ancora qualche mese per evitare di pagare la dogana
con documenti che provano il rimpatrio . Vorrei sapere i prezzi oerche’ mi hanno detto che le compagnie americane costano di piu’ . Il container di 20 piedi dovrebbe oartire da Boston o New Yirk e arrivare a Livorno. Posso utilizzare il servizio door to door , oppure no , dipendendo dal prezzo . Fatemi sapere il meglio da farsi . Vi ringrazio .
