Read before shipping vehicle to Zimbabwe from UK Japan USA

You can ship your truck or car from UK to Walvis Bay Namibia or from Japan to Durban port in South Africa or Dar Es Salaam port in Tanzania. We clear loaded and unloaded vehicles


Walvis Bay Port

Advantages
When you ship a vehicle from UK or USA to Zimbabwe its ideal to use Walvis Bay port in Namibia. At Walvis Bay, we provide clearing & forwarding service for cars, trucks, trailers, horses, tippers, containers, earthmoving equipment, abnormal loads etc. Our rates are affordable and service timeous. WeDo Logistics is one of the few reliable clearing agents at Walvis Bay forwarding goods and vehicles to Zambia, Zimbabwe & Botswana at very good rates. WeDO Logistics provides a complete service, customs clearing agent at Walvis bay, car carriers to Plumtree, Kazungula or direct to Bulawayo or Harare. We also do efficient Zimra clearing at Kazungula. You get to deal with us ONLY, from Walvis Bay to delivery saving you stress, time and money.

Disadvantages
BEWARE of unscrupulous agents, too many sad stories of people loosing their hard earned assets or going for weeks with goods stuck at Port. There are few happy stories of driving from Walvis Bay. It ends up being safer & cheaper to use a car carrier. We recommend you engage us to do your vehicle customs clearing and transport it to Zimbabwe Kazungula or Plumtree border or direct to Bulawayo or Harare . Our car carriers are fully insured, in the event your vehicle is damaged or lost whilst in transit, you are 100% covered. The cost of fuel for a 1600KM journey is $300(Toyota Hilux) plus driver $300 excluding Namibia road fees and Botswana Customs fees. From Walvis Bay one drives through desert area with towns far apart. A breakdown can easily translate to minimum cost of $300 for mechanic & breakdown service excluding parts. Furthermore the long distance drive can wear down drivers putting your un-insured vehicle at risk of accident. For a used car to drive a distance of 1600KM having been at sea is a huge gamble that can end up costing you more than necessary.


Dar Es Salaam Port

Advantages
When shipping car from Japan some prefer Dar Es Salaam. This port has the lowest customs clearance fees ranging from $150 upwards. Vehicle clearing at Dar Es Salaam also tends to be faster. Then there is the tempting drive from Tanzania to Chirundu 2100KM or 3days

Disdvantages
Again there are few happy stories of driving from Dar Es Salaam. It ends up being safer & cheaper to use a car carrier. The cost of fuel for a 2100KM journey is $350(Honda Fit) plus driver $350, total $700. This amount excludes Zambia road fees, transit fees etc. Breakdowns are common with minimum cost of $250 excluding parts. Some breakdowns are fatal, engine knock, suspension breakdown even tyre bursts due to high speeds as drivers rush to deliver and return. The long distance drive can wear down drivers putting your un-insured vehicle at risk of a write off accident. This road has many abandonded vehicles from accidents. We recommend you engage us to do your vehicle customs clearing and transport it to Zimbabwe Chirundu border. Our car carriers are fully insured, in the event your vehicle is damaged or lost whilst in transit, you are 100% covered, furthermore we charge less than you would spend collecting yourself.


Durban Port

Advantages
When importing from Japan traditionally Durban port is the preferred port. At Durban port we provide clearing services for cars, trucks, earthmoving equipment, abnormal loads. We are the only of a few experienced vehicle clearing agents. Everything is efficient in Durban, from customs clearing to delivery. Its cheaper to buy new tyres, battery, seat covers, service kit for your car before reaching Zimbabwe. Our crews in Durban handle your import faster and professionaly, this is where our Head office is located

Disdvantages
Ex Japan /UK/US imports can not be driven in South Africa, automatically its transported via a car carrier. BEWARE, some car carrier companies steal clients batteries, radios etc adding unnecessary inconvenience to clients. This can cost you $400 or more to replace. Also it takes long from UK to reach Durban port. We recommend you engage us as we do not temper with clients cars. Should you request, we can buy your car new tyres and batteries before delivery to Zimbabwe Beitbridge border. Our car carriers are fully insured, in the event your vehicle is damaged or lost whilst in transit, you are 100% covered.
