My only experience is with SHirth and they seem to imply with the Polish trailer they have to do things to make the glider fit properly and if they have to spend time then that is fair enough and charge for time. In our case the boys drove to the factory and still the glider was not ready so Biggo and his boys packed it in trailer and delivered it up north arriving at 2AM in the morning on a long weekend, 2 days later!!!!!! We had the container waiting after already being postponed at SHirth request. It all happened on time from then and got on the direct boat arriving 29 days later in Brisbane.
