I'm looking at selling my MB swift for a BJ Versa, babyontherun have the at a good price but I need a forwarding address. Their preferred forwarding company has quoted $149, so yes I'm being frugal and asking who did you use to ship your pram and do you know of a competive company?

i can't help (sorry!) but will be following this as i am interested - have no idea what companies are out there at all. BTW do you mind me asking why you're selling the swift? i have one and i'm in two minds about keeping it. DD is only about 6 months old but it's just not cutting the mustard...

Hmmn, for a few reasons. I really like it but it doesnt rear face, the basket could be better and the fold sucks! I don't drive a car and some of the buses are from the town of bedrock, no access and fold only so folding the damn thing is horrible. I actually have a second stroller which is a Hipod Ifold (basically a rip off of BJCM) and it has a great quick foldwhich is a BJ feature but it's cheaply made and the tyres suck. So what I like about the versa is it combines everything I want except pump tyres, which is a shame.

Not sure if I can help. The $149 might be as good as you can get it. I wouldn't recommend HopShopGo as I have used them and it seems very expensive to me - more expensive in some cases than just paying the direct shopping. I was looking at switching to http://www.shipito.com/ based on what I have read about them online. I have not used this service yet though.

I don't know if they are the cheapest, but I use http://www.comgateway.com/ and I've been happy with it. I've never shipped anything big - just shoes. On average, I think the total cost per pair of shoes was about $18 in total shipping related costs (including repackaging boxes).
