I haven´t shipped to Mumbai. I have shipped (by air) out of Chennai, though,
and that backed up what others had already told me: that shipping + India
is a
bad combination – or at the very least, it is very time-consuming and
laborous
to do it!
I´ve also ridden a bit in Mumbai. Oh boy, what a humongous traffic jam that
place was!! And when you do shipping, you often need to go to some offices
around the city, which is not very easy in a city of +10 million people (and
when your bike is packed, you naturally can´t use it, so you need other transport). Accommodation also seemed very expensive compared to elsewhere in
India. I won´t say it´s un-doable, because it´s not, but I can almost guarantee it´ll give you some sort of headache....
