So if I am reading this right you do not ship smalls very often and if you do it will most likely be shipped from Brisbane to Portland on a slow ride.
Well the best part is it goes to Portland which is real close for me. I understand the situation of storage before shipping so that is a problem. I do understand you are geared up for the vehicle end of things more than smalls. Lots of us in the US would love to be able to ship with some ease of items such as transmissions, engines, body parts, and so on. I myself would love to ship a front axle. Maybe I will move to Australia and organize small part shipments.
Have you considered announcing on Mudd a few months out the preparing of a container strictly for smalls. I seen some other gent do that. May not be cost effective for you.
Thanks for the information.
