Trip transport - mega forum

[Grant Johnson]

Hi,

I've been thinking about this - and have come to a "no" conclusion regarding splitting the Trip Transport forum up regionally!

What region is a UK to USA shipment?
Or how about Australia to Egypt?

It's just not possible.

However - as Roddy came up with, we are working on a flashy new system - including a map - that you can click on from and to locations on the map to get shipping reports. It's been in the planning for some time, and we are getting closer, but it will be a while yet.

As for the shipments being "old" - yes, and there is a "last 2 years only" check box when searching. Things DO change, but unless people put in the info to keep it up-to-date, we won't have any information. I think something is better than nothing, and reading about peoples experiences is a great teacher. Even if a shipment is 5 years old, there are often still lessons to be learned. And if you see a good post about a shipper from 5 years ago, and a recent one confirming, you know you've got someone that's been at it a while, and should be good, so all the "old" data is still useful!

He's also very right about costs - this isn't easy, it's a big deal to upgrade it, so please bear with us - and put YOUR shipping experience into the system so all can benefit!
