Shipping Floats Internationally
Have problems with your aircraft? Maybe just questions about how best to tune or adjust something? Regs or maintenance? Need to know the best way to do something?
Good news, that set of Edo 2000s I have listed here might be sold but they need to head to Finland via Florida and I'm in Utah.
Any recommendations on a crating and/or a shipping company for something like this? I used Yellow Freight a few years ago for some aircraft tugs and it was a mess. The buyer has shipping from Florida to Finland figured out, so I just need them crated and shipped to Florida.

I've used Uship before to get a few larger things hauled off from Tennessee to Alaska. I'm sure you could use it to find someone to drive the floats from Utah to Florida. I imagine the crating would need to be figured out separately though.

They’ll likely just be packed in a sea can for shipping. If that’s the case, ship them loose to FL on uship.com and let the buyer deal with the rest.

Thanks for the lead on uship. I had another buyer offer closer to my price who is local so I may have avoided this headache.

Always a good idea to keep this stuff local, good used aircraft items are becoming more sparse.
