Anyone know how to ship stuff( fitness equipment) from NYC to Spain?...

1 2017-12-20 by WhippingHuskies

I'm back in NYC for the holidays, but decided I'm better off in Europe. Anyhow I have some fitness equipment, including a pull up station, a bench, and small squat rack with weights, I'd like to ship back to Spain. I just dunno how the process works on moving big packages about or have a rough estimate on the cost. Any advice would be great. Thank you in advance.

Take a bath with a toaster, faggot.

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

I only take showers.

1 AsianAnalParty 2017-12-20

Hopefully it's the same kind of shower that they had at Dachau next time.

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

But I like my hats.

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

I know a great hat removal service.

Does it involve your sister's butt?

1 TheAndyPat 2017-12-20

Play a "pop-up show".. it'll just leave it's own damn self

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

But I really like the equipment, I don't wanna scar it for life.

1 Dennyislife 2017-12-20

Buy it in Spain. Retard.

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

It's very expensive, man. Plus I already have the equipment here in storage, I don't wanna get ride of it.

1 leedsjr 2017-12-20

Shipping costs are by weight. It might be cheaper to sell what you have here and buy new in Spain.

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

Fuck, ok. That's what I was afraid of.

1 Dennyislife 2017-12-20

Because shipping heavy stuff across oceans is cheap. Sell it second hand put money towards new stuff.

Now go for your siesta.

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

I'm in midtown, I'd get trampled by Asian tourists.

Look up "Sea Freight", and try to get an estimate. By sea should be the cheapest, but it's also the slowest, and it should still wind up costing close to a $1000+

There have been guys on weightlifting boards that have tried to import bumper plate sets, etc....., and the freight just kills the deal, unless you're buying tons for resale.

Thanks dude.

Just like drug smugglers up your ass

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

My butt stinks.

1 Robert_Spiff_Kelly 2017-12-20

It shouldn't if you are white European Spanish

I am, but lentil soups are BBUUHHRATAL for your insides.

BRAAAAAAP

You probably have to get it on a ship and meet it in a port over there. I had to send large containers from the east coast to alaska and had a hard time even finding someone to do it, let alone a cost effective way. I wound up sending it to seattle via fedex and then a freight shipper received the boxes and took them up on a boat.

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

Goddamn it. Ok, thanks man. I know I was gonna get my ass kicked here, just not this bad.

1 aprosbro 2017-12-20

Oh and take a look at DHL, I dont know how they are to europe but I know people who will only ship to canada with DHL. I dont exactly know why, just that the explicitly only use DHL to canada.

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

thanks brothaman, this lil detour threw a massive monkey wrench in my plans. I appreciate the help.

1 chickenfan1 2017-12-20

in your ass

1 Billyassman 2017-12-20

Sell it.Take the money ,buy a tranny,get bareback ass fucked.In a couple of months, you won't need to exercise. That's the Jim Norton weight reduction plan ADIOS

1 CookieHaid 2017-12-20

Opie knows how to steer a ship...ask him.

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

Could you imagine him trying to answer this via twitter.

1 DOPIEandSTANLEY 2017-12-20

Put it up your ass

1 Dr-Seepage 2017-12-20

The cost of shipping it inter continental almost certainly dwarfs the cost of buying it new in spain. Like majorly. Its weights and shit, weight is the main factor in costing shipping, its also bulky. Just sell the shit 2nd hand in ny amd put the money towards new equipment in spain.

Also youre a cunt

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

Fuck, man. Ok thanks.

1 Dr-Seepage 2017-12-20

Its nice to be able to offer actual advice here. But that really is your best bet, unless you have some sort of sentimental attachment to it, like you were conceived on the bench press or something, there is no reason to ship it back. Shipping things internationally is expensive anyway, never mind that its actual weights, that probably weigh more than idk a wardrobe or whatever. Not to labour the point, but try and find a weights set being sold new online in spain and then get the site to calculate shipping it to ny and you will probably get an idea of the problem.

So yeah, get an ad up asap and shop around online for stuff from Spanish fitness stores

And again you're a cunt

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

thanks again,man. I am a cunt indeed.

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

sorry to bother you again. If I leave the weights here and break up the pull up station n squat rack disassembled to under 75lbs, you think it'll be too big a hit?

1 Dr-Seepage 2017-12-20

I know that shipping a box of bottles cost hundreds of euros, but that was with fed ex, depends how youre shipping them, but id give ups/etc and ask for a quote, but 75lbs is a lot still, plus its bulky. Id still say you are better off buying new. At 75lbs you are basically asking to ship a teenage girl, its a pretty big undertaking.

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

fuck. Thanks for heads up man.

1 Osama_Bin_Log_in 2017-12-20

I can tell you when I lived for a year on the island of Madeira, Portugal I used a small shipping container to transport my furniture. It was probably more expensive than what you're looking at, although they are in the same region. Ran 10k.

2 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

Yea man, I'm not gonna do it. I knew it was gonna be expensive, but this is waaaay too much. According to most people here I;m better off taking the loss and buying new equipment there. Thanks anyway friend.

1 Osama_Bin_Log_in 2017-12-20

Good luck, I feel ya, it's a lot of money (thankfully my company paid for it). Just got back from Spain, Portugal, and Morocco on vacation about four months ago and miss it terribly already.

2 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

yea I go back next week. I'm looking forward to it. Growing up in NYC, I didn't see myself living anywhere else, boy was I wrong. It seems like I don't belong anywhere.

1 Osama_Bin_Log_in 2017-12-20

May ask what part of Spain are you moving to? Loved Barcelona and Valencia ...

Why do you say you don't belong anywhere? Take the ferry from Spain down through Gibraltar, past the Canaries, to Madeira then tell me you don't belong there. It's heaven on Earth.

2 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

Coastal Galicia. It's lovely, and my ancestral homeland, but I feel like NYC is too much world for me, and Spain is too suffocating and I've been corrupted and compromised by too much sin in the rotten apple. But I'm better off there, and trying to start a new life.

1 WhippingHuskies 2017-12-20

fuck. Thanks for heads up man.
