Hi, I need to have a RV-8 wing crated and shipped from Florida to Sweden.
Arranging it all from Sweden.
I have got a veeeery expensive proposal for crating and shipping.

Please - help me with ideas what company to contact to get it crated and transported for shipping.

Not cheap! But reasonable.
And of course professional, in the sense the wing is properly protected.

Help very much appreciated!

Something to consider

My two cents (to our SE friends, an American-ism meaning this opinion isn't worth much):

As painful/expensive as it might be, making one payment/signing one contract for this may have merits. There will be a lot of miles and handling for this shipment. If the wing gets damaged, you'd want some isolation from the blame game between different crating vendors/freight forwarders/other handlers. Just a thought. Best of luck.
 
There used to be a guy that had a business shipping RV's to Europe. He was located in north Florida somewhere. Someone may jump in and remember who he is.

Edit: All it took was a little searching to find this thread

Craig Vince? He hasn't been here since 2016 and I thought he had some legal troubles or something
