Price Breakdown:

The freight bill total with all docs and all money at Indian customs came to: 310GBP or 24,000IRP or $490 (USD) depending how you like your money.

The breakdown on the actual bill wasn’t very specific, but the total price was fair, and he put us on the next weight tariff up, meaning we saved money. We didn’t ask for this, he offered.

Crating charge: 6000IRP / 75GBP / 120USD

(crating was high we think, and we’re fairly sure they scammed us on it together. DHL will bring the crate company themselves, meaning lots of room for them to privately negotiate a scammy price. You could probably say you want to make it yourself and save about 2/3rds of this price, easily. Also the crate they made was fairly rubbish.)

Flights:

2 X Tickets including all taxes = 9000IRP / 115 GBP / 180USD

Thai Customs payments:

Storage fee (one day): 600BAHT / 11GBP / 17USD

Form fee: 30BAHT/ 0.40GBP / 1USD
