another company, make sure that the car has an Original

- if the company that you decide to purchase a car
from, doesn't have extensive shipping experience or
good connection with linner, there is a good chances
that you might have to wait longer time before your
car is shipped.

forwarders will not deal with them or dealing but providing
spaces on last serve basis only and only upon full
payment to collect the original Bill of laden.
