Bought an Excavator or Dump Truck on Ebay? Need Help Shipping it Overseas?

Nothing has made purchasing construction equipment easier than the creation of the internet.  Now with thousands of used construction equipment sellers, and online construction equipment auctions such as Ebay; buying used construction equipment from the USA is faster and easier than before!  To demonstrate how easy it is to ship your excavator, dump truck or other construction equipment from the United States, we will give you a little story about Carlos the construction equipment buyer. 


While browsing through Ebay late one night for the 3rd and 4th season of Dynasty on DVD, Carlos came across a Caterpillar Excavator on sale for $25,000.  Crushed between whether to buy his Dynasty DVD's or the Caterpillar Excavator, Carlos decided to go ahead and click on the "Buy It Now" button for the excavator.

Carlos couldn't resist buying this affordable Caterpillar Excavator on Ebay

It wasn't until after Carlos bought the excavator did he realize it was located in Middle of Nowhere, USA and the seller Billy Bob's Construction Equipment World couldn't ship his Caterpillar internationally or deliver his excavator to the port.  Carlos almost wished he bought the 3rd and 4th season of Dynasty instead until he researched international construction equipment shipping companies and came across K International.

Hoping he could hold back his tears, Carlos decided to contact K International Transport.  Carlos spoke with a friendly employee who was an expert in construction equipment shipping.  She assured Carlos he had nothing to cry about! K International was here to rescue the day and make shipping excavators and construction equipment from the USA easy.  

K International Transport was here to the rescue,
they assured Carlos they were the best international
construction equipment shipping company in the USA
 and would ship his excavator overseas

First, Carlos provided the international shipping expert with the model number for his Caterpillar.  Using their sophisticated database of construction equipment dimensions, K International was able to find the length, width, height and weight of his excavator unit.

Then, K International shared a little secret with Carlos..."I will show you how we can help you save money when shipping your excavator and construction equipment.  No need to worry, you are in good hands!"  Carlos decided to cross his fingers, do his good luck dance, and trust K International with shipping his excavator overseas. 


K International contacted Billy Bob's World of Construction Equipment and notified them to remove the bucket to help Carlos save on inland trucking costs. K International was able to pick up the excavator and bucket from Middle of Nowhere, USA and deliver Carlos' construction equipment to port.  K International alerted Carlos the excavator was small enough to dismantle and ship in a container in order to save him even more money.

Within a week Carlos' excavator was picked up, delivered to port, dismantled, loaded inside the container and shipped overseas.  When Carlos received the bill he was delighted, K International saved him hundreds of dollars in international construction equipment shipping costs!! He was convinced K International was one of the best international shipping companies for used construction equipment and excavators!

A month later Carlos was back on Ebay purchasing seasons 1 and 2 of Golden Girls and looking at articulated dump trucks.  He came across a Volvo Articulated Dump Truck he wanted shipped from the United States. 

Carlos was starting to buy even bigger construction equipment,
when he saw this Volvo Articulated Dump Truck he had to have it,
he was confident his construction shipping expert
would be able to ship his dump truck internationally

After calling his trusty K International overseas shipping expert, he was delighted to hear they could remove the wheels and make the inland and international transport of the dump truck cheaper than originally thought!! Carlos was ecstatic at the thought of saving money.

With the money Carlos saved with K International shipping his dump truck overseas, he was able to use the extra money and buy the Golden Girls DVD's he wanted

Carlos did the happy dance, now he realized buying construction equipment online and shipping it internationally from the USA was easy and affordable!  He was looking forward to making more purchases on ebay and shipping more construction equipment overseas.

Carlos the construction equipment buyer was happy with the international shipping services K International provided

Moving Abroad? K International Presents: House Hunters International: Australia

House Hunters International is a popular program that follows couples on their house hunt in various international destinations.  Sometimes working at K International Transport can feel like an episode of House Hunters.  What furniture will the customer bring to their new home?  Can they  fit all their furniture inside the container...and their new house?  What is the best way to ship their two cars?  How to politely tell your customer they cannot ship 100 gallons of fuel or they might be held liable for blowing up a $100 million ship?

Nonetheless, we enjoy working with our customers as they plan for their next exciting adventure in their new home.  Therefore, we decided to provide international shipping assistance to our blog world friends with a poignant story about a couple moving to Australia: Jacob and Emily.

Jacob and Emily were originally from Chicago, and while they normally enjoyed the cold winters they longed for warmth, sunshine and a change of scenery.

Jacob loved Chicago...but he was tired of the cold winters

After searching and finally securing a job in sunny Brisbane, Australia, Jacob and Emily were ready for their big move.  This is when they decided to contact K International Transport to assist with all their international shipping services needed to move abroad to Australia.

A week before they moved, Jacob and Emily wanted to load their 2 bedroom Chicago apartment in a 40'HC shipping container to Australia.  Jacob also wanted to send his 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to Brisbane, we told him it was no problem, we have inexpensive and reliable international car shipping services to Australia.  We also have a lot of experience shipping classic cars like Chevrolet Corvette's to Australia.   

Right on time one week before they started their new life, K International was able to pick up Jacob's Corvette and bring the 40' container to their door in Chicago.  Jacob and Emily loaded all of their furniture and other personal belongings they needed for their new home in Brisbane, Australia in the container.   Luckily they didn't have to worry about packing their down jackets...but they did invest in some new surfboards...

Jacob and Emily no longer needed their winter jackets...fashionable in Chicago, but not so much in Australia

K International let Jacob and Emily know it would take approximately 50-65 days before their furniture and surf boards would arrive in Australia.  Jacob and Emily figured this would give them plenty of time to look for a new house in Australia.  After meeting their real estate agent Ruby,  Jacob and Emily were on their way to looking at new houses.

The first place was an apartment in Brisbane.  Although near the center of the city, they realized it would be too small to fit their new surfboards and all their furniture loaded inside their shipping container.  Emily cried out to Jacob, "This bedroom won't fit our king sized bed, dresser and side tables...let's look at the next place."

Emily thought of all the items they were shipping to Australia and she knew this apartment was too small to fit all their stuff

The second place was a small house close to the beaches of Brisbane.  While Emily loved that she could walk outside and get a tan.  Jacob was afraid the house would one day flood and wash away.  He didn't want to lose all of the beautiful furniture he bought over from the United States....

While Jacob felt secure in the international cargo shipping insurance he purchased for his furniture, he wasn't sure about the insurance policies in Australia if he lost his house...

The third place was a house not far from the city center, and not too far from the beach.  The house had plenty of sunlight and was big enough to fit all their furniture.  Jacob and Emily instantly felt at home and were excited to start their new life in Brisbane.

This house was just perfect for Jacob and Emily, they were excited to start their new life in Australia

50 Days later their furniture and car arrived safely in Australia.  Jacob and Emily were elated; they loved their new home in Australia and because of K International Transport their new surfboards and furniture arrived safely.

Surf's Up!  Now Jacob could truly enjoy living in Australia
