Rocking Horse Business Supports Anglo Pacific

25-yr-established Classic Rocking Horses has recently concluded a third successful shipment with Anglo Pacific. Having already shipped precious equine cargo to Canada and Australia, dappled-grey ‘Sabre’ recently arrived in New Zealand - much to the pleasure of his new owner.

Talking about Sabre as “the most striking rocking horse that I've ever seen”, client Alison, situated in Tauranga on the North Island, was especially delighted by the international removal service given by Anglo Pacific.



“Sabre arrived in Tauranga a little while ago and the shipping agents were excellent helping me deal with the necessary paperwork and paying the customs duty here in New Zealand,” states Alison. The 2 delivery men were wonderful; they uncrated him on the truck and then brought him up to the doorway and inside, positioning him in the exact same spot my spouse and I had agreed upon after much talking. They then proceeded to complete the unwrapping, got me to examine him over and sign him off, then Sabre was theoretically mine."

With rates ranging between 2,300 pounds and 3,500 pounds for a Dappled Grey Classic, dependent on the size, these attractive hand-crafted artwork should be dealt with carefully.

Jean Tildesley, founder of Classic Rocking Horses, alongside partner Brian, claims, “Anglo Pacific’s Artwork wrapping service fits our corporation. They pack and crate carefully, clear customs at every end, and unpack and remove the crate - an added bonus in comparison with a lot of service providers who will deliver kerbside only. I can also get a certain quotation quickly, which is valuable in closing a sale.”

Classic Rocking Horses has been fixing antique horses and creating brand new ones for over twenty-five years. In that time period they have delivered them around the world from Norway to the Netherlands and Singapore to Shanghai, though a lot of customers naturally tend to be from the UK. Large production isn’t ever going to be the purpose, just horses of the very best quality.

Anglo Pacific Brings Exceptional Triumph Back home from Malta

A year searching and 15 vehicle viewings later Glyn Williams from Buckinghamshire finally found an immaculate Triumph TR4A - in Malta. Not needing the time-consuming procedure to tumble at the last hurdle, he entrusted its shipping to Anglo Pacific.

“The cars seen in the UK had been reassembled, but rather poorly, and so I had to look further afield,” claims engineer Glyn.“When I found the 1965 TR4A advertised in Malta, I struck up a liaison with the owner and after some 50 in depth photos, routine inspections and 2 months of discussions - we agreed a price. It's ended up, in the main, to be a fairly good purchase at a reasonable cost and all I want now is some good weather to savor hood-down driving with the loved ones. The wettest January ever since records began has not been kind."

Glyn chose Anglo Pacific to undertake the move as, firstly, its London Headquarters was convenient geographically for him, and secondly, he felt great confidence after speaking with Terry Horsnell, Client Manager at Anglo Pacific, a man who has been in the shipping industry for Thirty years.

“Working with valuable shipment like Glyn’s Triumph, a vehicle he spent 1 year tracking down, is one of the main reasons I really appreciate my work at Anglo Pacific,” reveals Terry. “Not only do I get to oversee the safe delivery of a exclusive object from A to B, I also get to play a very small part in some remarkable stories. I really hope Glyn gets many miles, and smiles, from his fabulous ‘new’ vintage car.”

Glyn is thankful for Terry’s dedication to the role, “Anglo Pacific proved to be a great option as Terry has been totally top class in every respect. His attention to detail and superb communication maintained confidence through the entire entire shipping and delivery process. I would have no doubt in endorsing Anglo Pacific in the future.”

A vintage automobile fan for well over 50 years, Glyn has owned and completely rebuilt several automobiles from pre-War Rileys to T Type MGs and E Type Jaguars to Austin Healeys. His newest buy, the TR4A, is an uprated version of the first TR4 that arrived in 1961 - uprated in the sense that it features a better engine, independent rear suspension and small alterations to the trim and chrome work.

The TR4A sold very well, with the bulk being exported, and currently it seems there are only around Two hundred and fifty of them registered in the UK, making the TR4A much sought-after and very difficult to source in truly outstanding condition. If Glyn’s investment holds up well and is reasonably trouble-free, he will pass the car on to his son who is a great Triumph fan.

Glyn finishes, “I don't have any plans to own any other classic cars as I find them too time-consuming and costly to maintain. However, that does not reduce my love of these alluring old bits of machinery and my heart even so skips a beat when I see an MG TC, because it was in an MG TC, Fifty-one years ago, that my wife and I went on our honeymoon. Such excellent memories.”

Cost of shipping a container from India two times as that of China, report states.

International Shipping from India can cost almost double what it costs to ship the exact same container from China, according to a study from the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India.

In a press release , ASSOCHAM mentioned the average cost of shipping a container from India could be roughly $1,200. The very same container from China would ship for about $600, and for just $400 from Singapore, putting Indian exporters at a competitive disadvantage in the worldwide market.

There are lots of reasons for the higher costs, the group said. One is that port proficiency in India lags behind most of the world. A ship’s turnaround time at India’s biggest sea port, Jawaharlal Nehru, is around 36 hrs, whilst at the main sea ports of Shanghai, Singapore, and Dubai, it is less than 12 hrs, according to ASSOCHAM. India’s ports in addition have greater cargo-handling charges compared to those other countries around the world.



Further driving up expenses is India’s 2-tiered tax system, which results in items being taxed when they transit state as well as national borders. The govt of newly picked Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to alter the system by scrapping the two-tier system and changing it with a standard national tax.

Container rates are largely a factor of demand and supply of shipping capacity, however additional factors like ease of access and landside costs may figure into total costs.

ASSOCHAM also identified the number of stops a truck has to make as another factor pushing up costs. There are currently one hundred and seventy seven road checkpoints as well as two hundred and sixty eight toll plazas on India’s roadways, and toll lane automation is virtually non-existent.

An imbalance in hinterland infrastructure is an additional factor. According to the World Bank, 63.7 percent of China’s roads are paved, compared to 53.8 percent in India.

China and India both have fragmented, unconsolidated trucking markets that make savings through economies of scale not easy to obtain. C.H. Robinson has predicted that 99 % of trucks in China belong to individuals or families. In India, the logistics provider estimates 80 % of trucks are operated by small companies.

The more advanced infrastructure in China has made up for the governmental meddling and fractured trucking market that define both nations. The final result, ASSOCHAM mentioned, is a large difference in the costs of shipping containers from China and India.

Pm Modi’s government looks to be alert to these problems, and has begun to take action to improve things. Early this month, ground was broken on part of the Sagar Mala infrastructure upgrade at the Jawaharlal Nehru port. Modi has additionally instructed the Ministry of Shipping to make Sagar Mala its main goal, according to the Times of India .

The Sagar Mala project aspires to boost India’s growth through the interlinking of sea ports via the continuing development of road, rail and seaway connections. It also demands investments geared towards increasing port capacity and efficiency.

Accompanying the order to the Ministry of Shipping was one to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. That order called for the development of a task force to research automation at Indian toll plazas and check points with the aim of minimizing setbacks and the amount of overloaded trucks on Indian roads. Automation of toll roads was one of the solutions recommended by ASSOCHAM to reduce shipping costs.

Bianca Fisher, Luggage Manager for Anglo Pacific, feedback, “Not only have we been participating in the Show for more than Two decades, but yet Anglo Pacific has also been assisting TNT Magazine with advertising and marketing for over Three decades, as it established in '83 - and its forerunners Australian Express for a few years prior to that. We’ve not forgotten a Show or an issue overall those decades. This specific prolonged partnership stays strong as we both equally target the exact same audience - young mobile Eighteen to Thirty-nines who have a love of existence and cash to pay on broadening their horizons. Long may it continue.”With more than 60% of Anglo Pacific’s enterprise accounted for by Australia and New Zealand, as well as the nationality breakdown of the TNT Travel Show 64% Aussie and Kiwi, the match would not be a little more ideal. Participants are interested in travelling, typically within the next six months, making for high quality enquiries. Anglo Pacific sends an all-antipodean staff to the Show and they know precisely what their potential customers would like, as most of them have gathered a carton or even 2 of excess baggage to ship back home at some stage in their lives. And, on the subject of cartons, Anglo Pacific gave away 5 cost-free tea cartons at the Show, delivered via sea, all over the world. Winners originated from New zealand and australia.

TNT’s CEO, Kevin Ellis, had this to say, “TNT is acknowledged for its involvement in the antipodean community throughout the united kingdom, specifically London.

Outrageous Indian Rickshaw Run Raises 4 Figures for Charity

International Removals company Anglo Pacific is aiding bereaved children’s charity, Winston’s Wish, for six yrs, raising thousands of pounds. However, Sales Consultant Chris Field just recently went the additional fundraising miles (3,000 in fact) with a Rickshaw Run all over India.

Leaving on the 2nd of April, Chris, and buddies Matt and (another) Chris from Nz, joined seventy four more dilapidated rickshaws at the Kochi, Kerala, start in SW India, before leaving for an eventful two weeks long race to the finish line in Shillong, Merghalaya, North East India. Without a established course and without back-up, the wholly improper 7hp three-wheeler (top speed 55kph - downhill) was likely to get lost and break-down, but Chris and company couldn’t take a pass on the chance to see the real India and raise cash for Winston’s Wish and rainforest charity Cool Earth in the process.

Twenty seven years old Chris remarks, “I wished to experience India, somewhere I've never been, though not in the customary way a traveller may. I did not feel like using trains, aeroplanes plus a Lonely Planet handbook, checking out the same places westerners always check-out, but rather check-out minor villages that’d probably never even seen a westerner in decades. The chance to drive the most improper vehicle through what are generally deemed the world’s most treacherous paths was also significantly appealing. The full experience was terrifyingly incredible and utterly exhausting. India is a really remarkable nation that you just cannot compare to in other regions, I would personally do it again in a heartbeat.”

The trio’s endeavours won them a ‘Best Tale on the Road’ Award from the organisers at the finish line. Midway across India, they had been able to reach, unaware and unseen at first, the frontline of an army vs bandits standoff. Seventy-six individuals had been murdered in the last 2 weeks and the British lads were in the midst of firearm- and grenade-carrying military while going for a rest room stop in some shrubs.

“We were marched into the rickshaw, hands behind our heads,” says Chris, “and forced to embark on a 200km detour. This detour took us to a fairly business oriented town on the east coast, but we were able to stumble across a cheap-as-chips five star hotel which has an infinity pool and complimentary bubbly. We filled up our boots. What a big difference a day makes...”

This was not their only run in with the law. They were stopped for a lot of reasons, had their belongings looked into on suspicion of money laundering, and a number of police demanded a fee for various misdemeanours. One of them insisted that charity do-gooders were needed to wear a charity outfit (?!) by law, but agreed on Two hundred rupees (£2) to drop any penalty charges. In the meantime, the rickshaw’s reliability was extremely ‘un-’.

Chris concludes, “We endured around Twenty malfunctions, from the engine snapping clean off its support to cables melting in the hot temperatures - it constantly touched about 47ºC. The time the engine mount went, a kind local repaired it with some rubbish he discovered by the side of the road to last us through to the next day. The Indians are really resourceful and always pleased to assist, even when none of us spoke each other’s language. The most irritating failure took place after we pushed the rickshaw up 20km of high hillside roads to spectacular Darjeeling, only for the braking system to totally break on the way down. Having said that we were always cared for like royals, mobbed just like Justin Bieber must be whenever we stopped for water or petrol, I have never waved a great deal in my life.”





Chris, Chris and Matt’s hard work reared an unbelievable £1,208.04 for charity at last count, divided £611.61 for Winston’s Wish and £596.43 for Cool Earth. Anglo Pacific employees forked out amply to the two causes and the Directors were especially forgiving in allowing Chris have time off.

TFL Helps Anglo Pacific Get on its Cycle

As a section of Transport for London’s (TFL) no fee cycle stand scheme, global removals specialist Anglo Pacific has recently secured delivery of 9 racks (18 bikes-worth) at its Park Royal HQ. HR Director Liz Caines desires they are going to motivate a better and more motivated workers.

“We have in the region of 9 hard-core bikers at this time around of the year, increasing to from 15 and Eighteen in the summer,” says Liz. “Considering we've got Eighty workers on-location at our London office, that’s not a bad number. It made sense for taking TFL up on their generous offer and offer them an appropriate safe spot to store their bicycles. We have a free-to-use fitness center and baths in the site, and are pleased to help people that wish to be more fit - as well beat the traffic and inflation-busting railway fares.”

Anglo Pacific Sales Specialist and die-hard cyclist, Brooke La Pine, said, “Bike riding to the office saves me a minimum of £60 each month in public transportation costs and it’s no less than three times quicker to cover the four miles in between my home and the office. I cycle no matter what, even in the snow, although that can be pretty hairy on thin road tyres. And, with reference to skinny, since I am keen on a beer or 2, I am convinced that my daily 2-wheeled journey spares me from inevitable tummy spread.”

“Prior to the TFL ‘toast racks’, our bikes would certainly get soaked when it rained, which is often most of the time in the United kingdom,” says Anglo Pacific Removal Advisor, New Zealand-born Doug Dyer. “Freewheeling ahead of queuing road traffic and congested buses, I'm able to get to work in 20 minutes - for free. We’re attempting to encourage our fellow workers to ride to work, particularly as we pretty much spend time at a workdesk all day long, but it appears like they don’t like the thought of the rain and automobile traffic and would prefer to spend an hour on public transport than 20 minutes on a bike. It’s a puzzle.”

Anglo Pacific Baggage Sales Professional, Blake Seath, suggests the social side of riding, “Yes the health rewards, and cutting down on my trip time from 45 minutes to Quarter of an hour, are convincing justifications, however there’s an enjoyment aspect to riding a bike too. Whilst I normally commute to my job alone, 90% of the time the return leg is done along with colleagues - sometimes stopping for some cool ‘refreshment’ along the way. Most of us who cycle have turned good friends outside work, which I promise you bike riding has a large amount to do with. We are all Kiwis along with one Aussie, so all a bit crazy, which helps when you’re dealing with rain, hailstorm and snowfall.”

Anglo Pacific isn't by itself within its bicycle mania as current data show that riding a bicycle for work is much more preferred than previously. Started off by the wins of Wiggins and Froome, the UK is going through a bike growth and the Authorities even has a tax-free loan system set up which can take up to 42Percent off the cost of a brand new cycle - 325,000 happen to have been purchased in in this manner to this point.

Moving Abroad Made Simple

All year round, a large group of the population move around the world for different circumstances such as through employers, jobs of for seeking adventure. Moving abroad isn't a simple task there are many details to be considered such as packing for an extensive trip and relocating your items at home. You will need to consider International Shipping. If you follow these steps relocating to different countries should be an easy task.

Cancel the utilities/give notice. If you have a lease it is best to speak to your landlord in advance as to possibly settle a termination of your lease. If you have a 1-year or more lease, you could possibly be fined for this procedure, particularly if you give less than 30 days’ notice. Where applicable terminate services with companies such as gas, telephone, water and cable. In order to be billed correctly you should inform these companies of when you gave your landlord notice and the date you will have left the premises.

Plan your packing. Most airlines now limit the weight of passengers bags to 50 lbs (20 kg) or less per bag (even those on long haul flights across the world). Isn't much is it? You should work out how much you have to pay for excess baggage if you can't fit all your items into that 1 bag. Remember the fact that, oftentimes, it's cheaper to ship your belongings than pay airlines for excess baggage fees. Compare and contrast postal rates with airline baggage rates for the cheapest price and plan accordingly.

Sort out your bank. The sooner you inform your bank about moving abroad the better. Be sure to have the bank remove international restrictions from your cards before moving abroad and also ask for paperless statements if available. Also, double check the fees and exchange rates for using your cards internationally.

Plan for the 1st few days abroad. The first week abroad is going to be the most difficult. That is the time during which you'll be getting a new home, getting your phone and daily utilities set up and learning your way around. Study as much as you can about the culture in which you are about to be residing by buying a guidebook and map in advance. Search for online resources about which neighbourhoods are good to live in and which parts of the city to avoid.

Get your documents together. Paperwork is required when moving internationally. First of all make sure you passport has blank pages and is valid for atleast 1 year. Ensure that your passport is renewed straight away if your passport is close to its expiration date. Depending on the country you are traveling to you mabe be required to have a visa. Check online for visa requirements two months in advance before your trip. Be sure to have copies of your bank statements, marriage certificate, birth certificate, international driving license and other pertinent documents with you when you move abroad.
