My Deep6 Experience or:How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Orange

Are you still in the shipping business and can do the job of a "shipping consolidator"?

Were you referring to me?

Were you referring to me?

Yes, you

 

[BoltSnap]

yes but soon is a interesting word. That is a 10k investment that will most likely have a slow inventory turn

2017?

Did you only get Din caps with the Solo 1st stage? Didn't see it with the kit?

Looks nice and Shiny. I know where you live and where you dive... Even if I have to take them off you underwater

Good luck with that! Yeah I double checked and missing a couple of DIN caps. Not that I don't have a gajillion of them lying around.

Do you mean "Shop & Ship" service from Aramex? If so, is it much less expensive than using regular courier service from Aramex or UPS, etc.?

Yes it's Shop and Ship, it is cheaper for me than regular freight as they pack containers from multiple people so there's a bit of a saving. Costs 10$ per pound / minimum and then it's a little cheaper per pound afterwards.
53 pound box, 400$ cost, total still cheaper than other reg options.

The video was kind of like watching a kid on Christmas morning. I also like the Stanley Kubrick reference!

Dude, do a PSI gauge with a small bar scale on the inside then no need for dual inventory. Also handy for the travelling diver.... like one of these

OMS Pressure Gauge buy and offers on Scubastore

I re-rechecked and of the 6 x 1st stages Im missing 2 whole DIN caps. Ill take the 2 coffee cups and the bunch of free T-shirts and call it even , seriously

In the meanwhile im on standby so no diving for me...Im sitting here in my Deep 6 shirt drinking from my Deep 6 cup like a kid with a new kite and its raining out.

Yes, you

Yes, I'm still in international shipping. The company I work for doesn't do its own consols, but will book with consolidators. I'm on the import side.

Would your company do consolidation (I buy from different vendors in the US) and then ship to Libya (sea freight or possibly air)?

Did you try to have Aramex take care of the shipping by getting a quote? I have a shipment coming in from the Netherlands to Libya and I was going to use S&S but I got a quote from Aramex for them to pickup the shipment and bring it to Libya and it was MUCH cheaper than other couriers (less than half the price) and little less than S&S.
