Would like to update you guys on my short IBC experience :

Car Cost ¥ 293,000
IBC Export Charges ¥ 95,000
Freight + Export M3~15.824 ¥ 153,000
Distant Transport: ¥ 8,500
Total: ¥ 549,000
Total CIF Cost
in Japanese Yen ¥ 549,000
Then when I asked about container shipping, they sent this email :
"Dear Jesse,
Good day!
Please be informed that RORO shipment to New Westminster is not available up to this moment, our option is to ship units in a container [FCL-Full Container Load] to Vancouver, Canada. If you wish to ship the above unit in a container there is an additional amount which you need to pay and that is USD 1,515-Vancouver.
We are still sorting the process of CY-CFS shipment mode. If you want to ship your unit in a FCL shipment with one BL issued and pay the additional cost, shipment will be available as full container shipment is regular to Canada.
Let us know if you will proceed in shipping your unit in a container for us to arrange shipment accordingly.
Kind Regards,

No RORO. That's obvious.
But how will they ship via container ... does my original price CIF NW include multiple/cargo container shipping ?
I have to get on the horn with them tonight and figure this out.
I stopped my wire transfer (thank god) in time.
They have my 1,000 deposit which visa is in the process of reversing when I get back to them to confirm.
I'll keep you guys posted.
So in a nutshell, here it is :
1. They have a total amount CIF to New West. I asked if it's container, rep said YES.
2. They say on their site and CSR rep's that RORO is not available, period. That container shipping is the only shipping they do to Canada.
3. Latest batch of emails state that the original CIF price was for RORO, yet RORO is not an option.
4. To ship via container, it's an additional $1,500USD + at least.
This is bad news.
I hope others pick up on this.
Jesse
