That price must have been air freight. If you send it by sea it will be much cheaper but bear in mind that if it's on a ship and the captain gets instructions to go to Brazil and pick up 500 tons of lumber he's not going to stop off to drop your pallet off first so it might be a while before it gets there and it might have had 500 tons of lumber on top of it.
I'm not very familiar with shipping but I did enquire about it once for my bike. You need to have/make a certified pallet, can't use any old timber because it might have disease/parasites etc. You obviously need to sort the import/export/customs side of things which might cost a few bob, and be aware that the shipping world is more full of sharks than the ocean it's sailing on so choose your conveyancer with care. I know a guy who organised 2-way shipping for something quite large and valuable and he paid a shipping agent up front for all the shipping & customs fees. Later he found that the guy hadn't paid the customs OR the return shipping. Cost him quite a few grand to get his item released from customs over there and then he had to pay all over again to get it back home. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

You’ll need an agent who does “groupage” to the US.
Shipping containers are 20 or 40ft generally, so if you want to ship a pallet sized item, it will need grouping in with other items into a container for shipping.

As mentioned above shipping large/heavy stuff by sea is always far cheaper than air.
I sent my BMW G650X in a crate by air freight back in 2013 to Halifax NS and that was £1300. The advantage of this was when l got off the plane by bike was ready to be picked up at a warehouse near the airport.
Two years ago my dad sent me a BSA C12 in a crate to Calgary AB as a wedding gift, It came by Sea to Montreal and then by truck to Calgary where it cleared customs, total cost was around £500 and delivery time was about a month. ____________________ Past:NRG50,AF1125(x2),NSR125RR,ZZR250,CX500,VFR400,KR1S,ZZR600(x2),CB400N,YZF1000(x2),KH125,Z200,FX400R,CBR954RR(x2)GPZ500S,GT550,VFR750F(x2),RD350N,XR650R,CBR600F,CB250,KDX250,YZF750R,CRM250,400EXC,KLR650,TTR600RE,DR350S,R100GSPD,RGV250,VMAX1200,DL650 Present:G650XC,C12,KZ750,1190ADV |

Pay the money and buy a proper pallet or a Euro with heat stamps on, buy the sides, also with the stamps on, and then tip the guys a couple of quid to give you the paperwork for the stamps.
Alternatively, ply doesn't need the stamps. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.
