Ship our 4x4 back to France from Sydney

Hi there
The end of our journey is coming soon. We need to ship our Land Cruiser back to home in France from Sydney. Does anybody know a good shipping company and of course the cheapest one ?
Thank you in adavance

PS : if you need a contact for shipping from Durban (South Africa) to Perth we've got a good one

Nad

The same agent Nadine mentions is also great for Durban to USA!

Hey Nadine, glad to see you are still in one piece! There is a person on the sub-saharan africa forum looking for info getting from Cabinda to Luanda. Thought you may be able to help! :-)

Do you have to leave from Sydney as it is by far the most expensive port in Australia to deal with?

Hello,
Yes we have to leave from Sydney because we've already got our return flights from there. And if we have to go to another harbour and to get back to Sydney i think the difference of price will be reduced to nil ! We have already contacted one company found on this website that operates from Brisbane, and we would like to find one from Sydney !
Thanks

Hi Graham !
Very happy to hear you too and to know that you appreciated as well our agent for shipping to USA.
I hope you have your Land Rover back now and don't think going to Australia with it, it's just Toyota's Kingdom like our's.

Cheers
Bye

I consigned Martin's motorbike to Worldwide Shipping Services: 450Australian for 2.2m**3 to Tilbury, UK. They're at about 1617 on a very long road that goes south down the east side of the airport. Check White or Yellow Pages for road name or phone number.

equally, Patricks are in Sydney and I'd have used them if I'd found them first, but I was pre-occupied with getting my bike to Cape Town by air. they have an office near the airport customs.

it's easy in Sydney so it'll come right, but customs need a day or two to come and clear the carnet. they're very professional.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
