The simple answer to this question is no.

If we are advised at any point that goods (which are to be ordered, or have been ordered, and which are to be shipped to a non embargoed destination) will upon arrival be moved to an embargoed destination e.g. Republic of Congo to Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) then we must decline or cancel the order.

The simple reason that we don't provide prices is due to the fact that:-

• a) Our stock changes so frequently it is impossible to list current prices
• b) Customers often purchase several items which allow for some negotiated discount
• c) Customers orders often include modification to suit their own specification

Yes, we can arrange shipping for customers.

Goods generally go RORO (Roll On Roll Off) or by container depending on the size of the shipment.

RORO is generally the cheaper option.

We can also arrange for insurance  if the customer requires it.

We also advise on the export licensing protocols for orders involving Ex. Military equipment. (see Exports FAQ's above)

Most of our vehicles are ex. military reserve stock which means that they have not seen active service instead being kept back "in reserve" hence the term, to perform localised duties or to be sent in as replacements for vehicles in service which need to be replaced.
