HELP ! Cheapest way to ship 2 small bikes from Buenos Aires to Europe
Dear all,
After 4 incredible month spend in South America ! I fell in love with my motorbike Suzuki Gn125 ! And can´t bear leaving it behind ... So I´m looking for the best way to send the 2 suzuki GN125 in Europe !
So far, I´v tried Lufthansa Cargo but it was about 1 500 USD for each bike ...
Can any of you all advise me on a cheap way to do it ?
Here is the blog of my brother and I if you are curious :-)

H-S can be recommended
Hi Patrick,
I have shipped my bike from BA to Hamburg a month ago.
Total cost including all fees about €700,--.
I shipped with Hamburg Süd and the price was for container sharing.
No crade is needed, you just drop off the bike at the warehouse at the harbour.
Hamburg Süd aren´t necessarily the cheapest, but the service provided was first class, no trouble or surprises at all. You get a procedure how to walk your way to bureaucracy and the harbour and do not need additional help.
I received the bike back in excellent condition: no dents or scratches.
You may contact Hamburg Süd´s office and ask for Federico Boettner:

Good luck
Dominik

Hi guys !!
Thanks a lot for your reply !! But after a long investigation I came to the conclusion that it´s way too expensive to get the motorbikes regulated in Belgium ... But I can really recommend boxfreight ! I went to the office in San Telmo ( buenos aires ) and one guy explain everything and the cost was about 600 USD !!
i have now sold it and I´m in a deep depression snif snif !
But thanks again lads !
Take care
Patrick
