shared container Cartagena

I am looking to share a container if possible, from Cartagena to Europe (Antwerp but Germany or other countries in the area would suit as well). I'm not flexible for time enfortunately. I can drop off the bike between 10th and the 14th of November 2018.

I searched a lot of forums and websites and wrote even more emails to shipping companys the last week.

I now got a really good offer with good service from an company who got recommended - destination Germany.
I can do RoRo alone with them but it get s even cheaper and better if we share a container.

Just wanted to inform about progress for interested person. Kevin got already contacted

So are there more interested fellows?

At the moment there are different possibilities: got offers for bigger 40 container because people with jeep are interested and two good offers for 20 container of it will be just bikes.

So this topic is still up2date.

At the moment we are two bikes (one rig/hack/sidecar).
We have place for 1 or 2 more bikes, depending on the size of the bikes.

Costs at the moment are around 3300 € - depending on concrete Agent costs in Cartagena.
Costs are in total including everything and insurance.

We prefer shipping around first week of October, but both of us are flexible if you prefer later dates.

So is anyone interested?
