China to UK

[t2van]

Long shot and I mean a MASSIVE long shot, anyone got a container going from China to Mainland UK with a bit of room I can hop a lift on? Just been quoted $970 for a pallet and almost fell over.

I don't have anything leaving for 4 months and a friend who we split loads with is in the same boat as me (no pun intended) if needs be I'll wait just be nice to get it a bit sooner.

Id normally not bat an eye lid but the order comes to $1870 and $970 ontop.... no way!


EDIT

Can cope with mainland Europe if there's a chance. I can send someone over to pick it up.

Thanks for the reply.
