Shipping from Europe problem. Need advise by Bhall on 12 June 2012 - 17:58 |
Bought a dog and they checked on shipping from Praque. The quote was 990 Euro. I paid for everything. Well now the rules changed and Delta can't ship so the shipping company contacted me and said they would take the dog to Frankfurt but I would have to pay another 200 Euro (shipping 1100 Euro +80 Euro for gas). agreed! Now the dog is in Frankfurt and I am being told I will have to pay another 355- 715 Euro. |

| Are you talking to people directly? You have a dog sitting in Frankfurt right now? |
Hedi by Bhall on 12 June 2012 - 18:16 |
| Yes, the dog is in Frankfurt. Yes, I talked to them directly. The shipping company in Frankfurt has been super nice. The man from the Czech Republic has also been very nice and I am easy to work with and never encountered this problem. However, now the man (shipping company) from the Czech Republic will not contact me. He dropped off the dog and partial payment.... |

| maybe start working with some different people , if shippingcompany gives you a price they will and have to send the dog for offered price , your only option right now is pay, or let the seller go to frankfurt and pick up the dog airlines need money so they push you to use bigger crate ,telling you its for animal wellfare, all you need to do is use different crate which will backfire on the airlines, because it will actually be a little cheaper good luck |

| If you have the ability to stop funds to the CZ person and deal with him later....move the dog through. Not sure what company you are using in Germany, but it should be a seemless thing. Sounds to me that the job has been dumped in Germany. That is what I would do, stop funds...pay and move the dog through. |

| I already prepaid the seller and they prepaid everything. I just got in touch with the seller and they are very upset also. I have no problem covering the gas money but to pocket 235 Euros is crazy. I hope they will work it out. As I will not stand for that. I will post and update to let everyone know if things have been resolved. |

| pet air is good, I have feeling the changes happened after the original reservation. I think Peter had to juggle things around and in order to ship the dog at the right time the cost became larger. The Gas to Frankfurt is about $250 round trip if he had to make a quick trip to Germany with only one dog, 5 hours drive one way,possible hotel room.. it adds up. If the airline wants the dog in a bigger crate shipper has to pretty much yeld. I think he found himself in a pickle dealing with airlines to make it work. Let us know how it works out. Let Duke help if he can. Good luck. |

| I PM'd you.... Good Luck! |

| I have recently used PEtAir and they are VERY easy to work with. The larger crate size is determined by the ariline, not the shipping company. I have personally witnessed this first hand. Good Luck! |

| Sounds like Jinopo has taken another client over the shipping, Sad when they own the shipping company over there also. I have heard of this happening to one of my friends about a year ago |

| No, he is in a 600 crate already and they said they may put him in a 700. However, I talked to Petr and he told me what he would charge me for gas. He said he had other dogs. If you tell me what you will charge me for fuel in advance than that is what I will pay. It is a big difference from 80 Euros to 235 Euros |

by Bhall on 12 June 2012 - 20:56 |
| duke1965, I do have a broker but would still pay you the 990 Euro I was quoted. Can you send me your email? I would love to go thru you in the future and if Petr can't get my dog here then I will just have him refund my whole shipping amount and pay you. |
