I thank Augusto for his comment/post here. He shows exactly how he is dealing with clients. As long as you tell him he is the best, he is nice. But as soon you try to optimize his process, something is going wrong or you critic him, he become very non-cooperative. I will write a detailed post about all my shipping experiences a bit later.

I had no other possibility to ship with someone other because of the POA (Power Of Attorney). I tried to make a new POA from Italy, but it is practically not possible and with all the official translations you need it is more expensive than to fly to Brazil. This was the reason why I had to ship with August and ask him to do it finally. He knew that and the price was accordingly. First offer to ship the sidecar was usd 1590$ (Email from Do. 09.03.2017 16:59). Finally I paid: 2656 USD plus 10% exchange rate commission for him (not for the bank), because I had to pay in Brazil Reals (email from Mo. 03.07.2017 15:18). Also here I will write more detailed a bit later.

The lost carnet de passage was my old (stamped) one. Sure it was my fault to leave it there, but finally it got lost in Brazil with other documents like insurance policy. The envelope was deep in the sidecar and so not possibility to fall out by accident.
