Container-Sharing Valparaiso/Chile to Vancouver/Canada April 2012

We are going to ship a car and two motorbikes in a 40“ container from Valparaiso/Chile to Vancouver/Canada in the 2nd week of April 2012. The transit time will be 27 days.

We‘ve got space for up to 3 motorbikes on top. Who‘s interested to share the container and reduce the shipping costs?

You‘ll find more informations about us on our website boomer.de bike-travel - Der Blog unserer Motorrad-Weltreise - boomer.de bike-travel

Please use the button „Kontakt“ on the website to get in touch with us.
The price depends on how many vehicles will share the container. Details via Email.

Thanks.

Interested Party

Greetings folks,

I've tried contacting you a couple times via your site, hopefully this is not yet another duplicate...

Bottom Line: I'd very much like to get my little Suzuki (DR-650) in your container for the trip back to the Pacific Northwest.

Please let me know where I need to be, when I need to be there, and how much money I need to bring.

Looking forward to hearing from you (publicjb at comcast dot net),

Hi folks,

anyone else interested in sharing the container?

The ship will leave from Valparaiso/Chile on 13th April 2012. Loading the container will be at the 10th approx. Arrival in Vancouver 27 days later - the perfect time to enjoy the canadian spring

We're staying at the "Villa Kunterbunt' in Valpo from where Martina and Enzo are organizing all the paperwork for us like they did hundrets of times before.

As it's not always possible to check all forums, please send us an email directly: biketravel (at) boomer.de

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.
