Shipments done by Travellers

We three motorcyclers and we rented 20 foot container. They put the bikes in the container without crating because the container was consigned only to us. They were always responsive and helpful. The service was in general very good. The only problem we had was the side stands. When we got the bikes in Singapore, two of the bikes' sidestand were a bit bended, maybe because of the strapping. It will be wise to redirect them about fixing the bikes.

Time schedule was so precise.

1800 $ for three bikes

In Singapore they didn't have any agent so we worked with another person. His name was Jaya and he was also very helpful, but it will be wise to speak for every detail ahaed of doing the job, because he can want some extra money if you are not definite. But overall I suggest him to work with. His contact details are below

830 $ for three bikes

We shipped our two Yamaha Tenere XT 660Z from Kathmandu to new Zealand. The two crates were build on the AirPort at the customs, So the paperwerk was done after the bikes were crated. The bikes flew via Bangkok to Auckland. They arrived without problems in Auckland. For more details you can contact me via Facebook: Karin Hartog deom the Netherlands

size of the crates: LxBxH = 2.07x0.71x1.30 

weight: 620 kg

volume: 632 kg (So the price was in volume instead of kg)

The shipping quote was $1850 and the extra $150 was for crating the bike and transporting to the airport. I had to handle the logistics myself on the Delhi side. The bike was a KTM 690 Enduro. Wheels had to be removed and sent in a separate box. Fuel was drained and battery removed.

The guys at Muza were helpful and looked after all the paperwork and customs formalities.

While I was happy with Frontier Freight Services, I had some difficulty dealing with CP World Group and their agent in Surabaya. The bike never got transferred from Singapore, and it just sat there until I showed up in Surabaya. The shipment ended up being delayed in total for 14 days. 

The fees at port side were also quite high, but that may just be typical for Indonesia. 

We shipped two motorcycles in a 20' container directly from Bandar Abas, Iran to Mombasa, Kenya. Time in transit was supposed to be two weeks, but due to delayed departure, in reality it was four weeks. However, the process in Iran as well as in Kenya was very fast and simple.
