Cheapest option Malaysia to Aus
 

Hi guys
I'm currently in KL investigating cheapest sea freight options to Aus. All of the contacts and details in the shipping section seem to no longer be active. If there's an option as cheap and easy as Darwin > Dili id be over the moon. I have no issue with where in Aus or how long it takes. Just the absolute cheapest option. :P

Cheers

Nick

You´re sending a bike or a car?

I think at least a few years ago that Dili-Darwin shipping route (Perkins) was actually Singapore-Dili-Darwin, so that could be worth checking out?
Getting your foreign vehicle to Singapore doesn´t really make sense for just getting to ride around there, as importing there is a bit of a pain, but for an easy shipping, maybe it´s worth it. If not, then I´d find out about shipping by sea from Port Klang, Malaysia.

If it´s a bike, I´d also ask the freight agents about Malaysian Airlines (MASKargo), as they seem to have competitive pricing on airfreight. I once sent my bike from Chennai to Bangkok via Kuala Lumpur with them, and they did the job really fine (it cost me about 600 euros total for a DL650 on an open crate, January -08).

Hey Nic,

What did you end up deciding for then cheapest and best way to ship from SE Asia to Australia?

I'm currently in Malaysia and looking to ship back to Brisbane preferably from Bangkok.

Anything you learned through your experience would be very helpful I'm sure.
