I'm a Fish!
Wondering if anyone knows of any place in the UK that can ship a pallet (32kegs) or a half pallet of Sofnolime 797 to Canada?

Thanks.
 
Custom Divers are usually amongst the cheapest and do full pallet discounts. I can imagine they'd ship if you ask.

Discounts for a pallet. Heavy though.

Canadian duty on a trucked shipment from the US makes air transport from the UK cheaper? Sorry if it's a stupid question.

I was wondering that myself.
 
US$5,999 for a pallet of Sofnolime 797 plus shipping and duty, from DGX. Looks like about a 6% savings from single keg price.
 
Out of curiosity, questions for the logistics people here…

A keg of sofnolime is 20kg (ignoring the container and pallet). A pallet is 32 kegs, so 32 x 20 = 640kg. Call that 700kg/1540lbs total.

Questions:
  • How many pallets can you fit in a standard 40ft container?
  • How much to ship a container from the UK to the US/Canada?

Have you tried asking Molecular Products directly?

Both of those are from the address on the product safety sheet so no guarantees that they'll work. Otherwise AP/Custom divers/Divemaster are your best bets.

Depends on if you stack the pallets. Couldn’t tell on rates but they’ve come down from last year.
