Shipping costs for seacans have increased majorly since the plandemic unfortunately
We shipped a 20ft (contents of a 3 bedroom house) over from Scotland to Calgary and it cost us around 3000GBP, that was door-to-door
They quoted 7 weeks, it arrived in 3 weeks, so I had to scramble to get storage for the stuff as they'll charge a daily fee for it being in their yard/container, although there are worse problems to have
upakweship.com - they take care of the whole lot from the admin side, all you are responsible for is packing the container
Isn't the place littered with abandoned Ferraris that princes got tired of? Seems like it'd be easier just to drive one of those. But I've always been a very practical person.

Move these comments to Psilocybin thread please.
Do you mean armor as in like a skid plate or rock protection type gear, or actual ballistic armor installed in the body and ballistic armored windows? Here in Canada they've made it almost illegal for a "regular" person to have an armored vehicle, no idea what the import rules into Dubai might be.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Hey I’m all for egging someone one to do something dumb if it is likely to lead to my entertainment. But this just screams a waste of money with no subsequent entertainment value.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Wasting money shipping a vehicle, so common as to be a commodity, around the planet continues to rank as dumb advice in my books. Especially once it had been established that there are lots of miled up jeeps for sale in the UAE.
These things are always much more complicated and expensive than they come off. I facilitated a similar shipment once ( for my mother due to a language barrier, wouldn’t want anyone getting confused here ), once the dust settled it cost 3x the value of the vehicle to have it landed and properly registered. I am sure Dubai is a very chill and anticorrupt place to do this sort of thing and will let you just drive it out of a container into the sunset without a taste.

I think to us lame citizens when someone mentions armor, especially on a jeep, they mean skid plates and steel bumpers etc.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

holy cow guys chill, I'm in the process of selling my house, haven't been able to log on for a while.
I'm taking the jeep with me to be my personal vehicle.
Sure I can buy another jeep while in Dubai but to build one like the one I got currently would cost a lot more then what I have spent on my current jeep.
Also I wont be back in 6 months because of my wife wanting back because she wont want to feel like she's property loool, I should mention I am Lebanese, so not only would I be closer to my country ill have a job that the government wont take half my pay in taxes. Also she doesn't want to work no more so shes getting the better deal here
The shipping is already in line, will be sending it in a 40ft container with all my belongings that i'm taking with me for the price of around 5200 Canadian and will take 21 days to arrive, or my second option is around 4200 Canadian and it takes 6 months to arrive lol.
A small rundown retail for parts only
lift $2000
tires 37s $3500
bumpers rear $2800 and front $3000
winch $2100
Regear $1400 both axles
Rear and front track bars $800
upgraded front end steering $1300
slanted soft top $2400
fender armor $2600
diff covers $400
$22300 that's only in parts and no install/shop charges and these parts are for a JK model not the JL model those are completely higher prices
other then the gears, I installed and did all the work my self on the jeep.
yes yes I know cars get devalued every day and such I know that
the jeep cost 50k at the time with the trade in and warranty out the door was 65k take you all the upgrades I put on the jeep took a few years to get it to where it is now.
So lets say I sell my current jk at like 40k on a good day heres a 2020 https://www.dubicars.com/2020-jeep-w...ce-625752.html with 67000k with 5% tax only, puts me at $57750 canaidan and lets say I can score the same brand name parts for as cheap as 22300k that puts me at $80050 so it makes sense to spend lets say on the higher end 15k landed and fees paid in Dubai
with my jeeps worth if i sell it at 40k plus the 15k puts me at 55k all in so yes ill rather save 25k and the time its gonna get me to mod and install everything my self again

If you can't fill it completely, there's usually people looking to pay you some cash to take the extra spaceThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
MY CONTAINER!! lol dont want the hassle
Depending on the shipping company, it's usually them who take care of it...just makes your shipping cheaper. We filled our container but the company had a bunch of people in line wanting space in containers coming to Canada. Of course if you don't really care about saving the money then it's not worth it lolThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Be wary on that 21 days though, make sure you have contingency if it takes less than that, I can only imagine what the price for it to sit in the bonded yard in the UAE is per day
Cool adventure, keep us updated.

yes I know what you mean, some plans have changed, might be going to Dubai first to settle things there then coming back to Canada to ship every thing and picking the family up.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
