Moving Forward - Help Required With Sea Freight CA to AUS.

[PaulyT]

Hi Guys, looking to get serious in my venture this year which includes a small warehouse and while I will still continue to air freight stock in I need to consider bringing items in by sea. This is because I have not yet gone down the road of importing small heavy items and large light items.
My main supplier is in CA so looking at a 20 foot container and am now starting to negotiate with them which I expect will take a few months.
Looking at getting a small warehouse mid year and by then should have the capital.

Basically I am looking for a customs broker/fright forwarder who can handle the shipping and perhaps be a little flexible in delivery depending on costs etc.

I would hope that moving forward I would bring in 2-3 containers a year from a couple of suppliers and possibly some small sea freight, mainly with motorbike parts and acc. and possibly some MX bikes that will not be registered in Australia.

Located in Melbourne and will be looking at setting up in Laverton/Werribee area although.

Hoping someone in this field can touch base with some idea's on their services and costs etc....

Thanks indeed!
