Shipping Floats Internationally

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.
