I've been watching this thread for a while and can no longer be silent. This is the biggest load of bullshit I've seen in ages. I just did two calculations for 4000 kgs and 2000 kgs of cartons (holding about twenty cameras each) across the Atlantic from Toivakka to New York -- door to door.
The TNT Air Freight cost would be 22.97 Euro per kilogram for a shipment of boxes that total 4000 kgs. If anyone doesn't believe this go to the TNT website and do the calculation yourself. I think 4000 kgs is a large quantity. Yes? Or is the poster (I can't remember who posted the original rubbish) going to say 4000 kgs is not a large enough quantity. By the way *the more you send* the cheaper it gets! Don David Savage wrote: > A client of ours flew out a new cutting head for their dredge.
