Cheap container space available from Lisbon to Buenos aires. Anyone else?

Hi,

We still have container space available to transport your bike from Lisbon (Portugal) to Buenos Aires (Argentina) in the begining of November.

The more we are the chear it gets. Total cost for the container is arround 1.200€ so if we can ship 6 bikes it will cost 200€ per bike. Very cheap!!

Anyone interested send me an e-mail to:

nunoleotte@netcabo.pt
or

Crated

Hi Nuno,

Would the bike still have to be crated or would they all go into the container together. If it is shipped out 1st November do you know when it is arriving and also do you know how much it is going to cost to get them out in BA?

I need to ship my bike out about then if I can't find one to buy out there and I guess if I am not able to bike down to Portugal then I have no hope going through the Americas.

Cheers,
Annette

Thumbs up Shipping from Lisbon to Buenos Aires.

Hi,

The bike doesn't need to be crated because we have a 20 feet container that can fit the bikes all together. I still don't know how much will cost to ship the bikes out of BA. Not to much I hope!

As you can understand the more we are the cheaper it gets.

There is also an English chap called Mick that is driving from England to Lisbon just to share the container space. We intend to ship the bikes in the begining of November and they will arrive there also in the begining of December.

If you have interest just let me know. My house is your house.

Nuno

I am sure that Nuno will reply to this but I know that they haven't been shipped yet as my bike is one of them and there is room for more bikes.

Nope

That is the good thing about South America is that you don't need a carnet. I look forward to seeing you in Argentina.

Ciao for now,
Annette

Nuno who leaves Lisbon airport one hour after me might make it earlier to B.A
