Question URGENT - Shipping agent reqd in Lima

After three days of questions Schenker finally gave me a quote today for sea freighting my bike from Lima to Hamburg - U$4500 That's 4x what I paid to ship it from Singapore to Valparaiso in December!
I emailed Uniex, UTI and Ned Lloyd before arriving in Lima but none of them have replied.
I will visit their offices tomorrow but would like as many options as possible. It seems that plane tickets to the USA almost double on October 1st so I want to be on a plane before then.

Any reccomendations would be great.

Cheers

Adam

Hi Adam!


Why the hell you're shipping to Hamburg?????????

When you can try the Villa Kunterbunt in Valparaiso. They regular shipping bikes back to germany..

What is the problem with Schenker Peru? We paied for both bikes in 1 box Perth-south germany around 1150 Eu including all paperwork..
Are they mad????

Hi Werner,

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.
