Title: need van help please,please.,.,
Post by: sofa----king on June 19, 2009, 06:10:13 PM
got 2 identical vans being shipped to cyprus this week and how the fook do they come up with this i dont know.....

i need someone to find me the external volume size for a 2006 lwb high top sprinter.,.,please

van 1
£1120 shipping
van 2
£1540 shipping

how the fook they got this i dont know both vans are identicl and both 2006 models.,.,.any help really appreciated .,.,.,thanks,,.,.,this was from my shipping agent.

The only way that we can argue it is once the ship arrives you can re-measure it at Limassol port and if the volume is under 33m3 then this will go into the smaller van rate. If this is the case then somebody of authority (ie Bambos Psaras from the office in Limassol) will have to also measure it before the van is taken out from Limassol port so that we can contest it with the measurements from Southampton

LWB High is 6.945m x 1.993m x 2.795m = 38.69m^3

Be surprised if an '06 is 15% smaller than an '09. Looks like you're £420 up.

He only needs them for the weekend so you may have to stay over for a couple of days before you can drive it back

the vans get brought here and they stay here,i sell them in cyprus....

a good idea is if you had a low load trailer to put one on the back,,,2 at a time ...
scheduele e.g

set off monday morning get to limassol for thur/fri stay the weekend then fly back on monday/tue/wed....accom provided in a luxury villa
at the moment there is a bit of a row going on its either £1120+vat or £1540+vat per mercedes lwb high top
you would need to work out the fuel costs and the tolls/ferries etc..you could sleep in the van to keep the exs down,blow up bed etc,upto you

you need to get full costing before pricing up mate....
