Well for the gear its true get it were its cheap and were you can test it etc then take it with you on the plain. There you have 20 kg and more you should not take anyway but shiping a bike in my eyes is a big waste of money.
For the same price then shiping a bike you can often bay two bikes at your destination. I would rather take a cheap bike into strange country so if anything goes wrong you can just leave it there...
