You fly oui drive

Just making initial enquires on wheather there would be a service to transport British goods e.g. kitchen units,paint,IKEA items etc.Please let me know if there is any genuine interest out there.

May I ADD I hadnt intended to bring over produce or other food stuffs what I was thinking of was more the DIY or catalogued items which maybe are not available in France.Most companies have web sites,this could be ordered by the customer and then delivered to my address for myself to then transport it to your home in France.

Thanks very much for everyones advice on this subject,I am aware of the difference between reality and a pipe dream but all I was originally trying to do at the outset was to see if there is a market out there for this kind of service,I still beleive there is but like Linerton replied maybe in specialised goods and not in tea bags.Linerton I am still interested in your delivery for some experience if your still want it done that is

are you saying there isnt room for another one to do this service

My response to you ty is that I already have a job in a factory which as boring as hell so I am looking to do something more adventerous with my life aswell as offering I think a much needed service which I believe CAN work.As for the returns section there is no reason I acnt offer the same service but in reverse as long as the customer deals with the admin with the company.W ith the internet now customers can order their goods a nd have them delivered to my address and I will deliver them directly to their home in France. Transport is not a problem I can assure anyone and if I have enough drops on a trip the cost to each customer will obviously decrease.Ferry costs and fuel will be deducted out.Please let me know me what you think out there I like costructive critisisim.

I would be interested in that idea of bringing essential goods for ex-pats across to France so if anybody else would like this service please e-mail me

Many thanks everyone for your advice, i understand the logistics would be the biggest stumbling block with this project,however I still believe there is a service to be offered in this case wheather it be to the average home owner or maybe to the higher valued market where the customer will maybe find it easier to travel between airport and the new home without his own vehicle being present.A car hire company has been very helpful with their advice in the the fact of they will in most cases be able to deliver a hire car to the destination ready for my return journey to England or to the nearest airport in France. Mnay Thanks David

I am in the very early stages of exploring into a business venture.As everyone is well aware more and more British citizens are moving thier lives and homes to France,the household goods and individual belongings are already catered for with the endless amount of reliable removal companies. I have had an idea of setting a company up to drive the customers vehicles to their new home for them,so then the customers could then take the less stressful option of flying there or if so wished by rail. I am posting this message in anticipation of the expert knowledge which is no doubt on this site,so I have a few queries which I hope soneone will reply to :- Would it at all viable? :- Is the service been ever requsted to anyones memory ? :- Is it already being done and is it a success ? :- Do many ex-pats take their vehicles with them ? I would be very much appretiated if someone could advise me with any of these questions
