Ah, I see that you have gone through All Cargo Express, we went straight to LEI. They have quoted us as Dangerous Goods, so no tank drain. And 2 bikes as $3100 CAD to Incheon. Just the crating to do. Strange the price difference.
I'll PM you our full quote to save clogging up the thread

Right, we have a great 2 days, we crated the bikes at Pacific Moto, took us about 5 hours including an oil change. Paid a bit for labour as Rusty helped out. They will normally supply the crate for $100 (they use Triumph ones).
LEI picked them up this morning and they arrived a few mins after we did in their offices. The paperwork and final price went through. Our overall dimensions reduced due to removing the panniers to fit in the crates. We weighed in at 319kg and 325kg (inc pallet weight). Then the fuel cost went down. We are 2 happy bunnies :-).
All in $2900 CAD for 2 bikes to Seoul.
Doug, shave some weight, save a fortune :-)
We will be in Incheon on the 28th, hopefully sorting the bikes o the 29th and then a couple of days riding before getting the Ferry on the 2nd to Vlad.
Yes, we know the Zubrino ferry is quick to get off, but that does not go until Tuesdday and we want to move forward.

Did you decide to ride in Korea ? We wanted to but screwed up the paper work, we put both bikes on one AWB to save money. Wendy Choi had said it was OK, but she had missed the bit about us wanting to ride. :-(
Now we are hoping to catch a ride with the truck to the ferry.

She is a lovely lady, and needs to make a living :-). She did well for us, both bikes to the ferry for $800. We were also able to travel on the truck.
We would have preferred to ride, especially as we have now seen how beautiful the whole country is. But that is the breaks when you make a mistake.

In Donghae now, trying to get the bikes uncrated at this end (we think it will be easier than in Vlad). But are having problems with the port being on a high security alert.
We will arrive in Vlad on Monday, and are booked into the Optimum hostel. Yuri has confirmed that it takes 3 days to clear the bikes.
Ferry arrives Monday afternoon.
They unload Tuesday
Paperwork Wednesday
Thursday cleared.
(Yes we know we could have gone to Zubrino but as we were not riding the bikes we saw little point of trying to organise our time in SK differently).

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.

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.
