Hey there,

I just wanted to ask this question as it has been spooking around my head for a while now and I only found 1 big problem and a minor maybe issue so far. But I guess that is just out of a lack of knowledge.

But I'll have you hear my idea before I bash it down myself.

DHL offers something they call a DHL EXPRESS EASY PALLET.

Basically a massive box on a pallet that allows you to send 75, 80 or 100kg for around 300 US. Now I have a bike that only ways 105 kgs. So I thought, huh, why not take it apart and pack everything besides the frame, too bulky, in the box and send it home, to my door. And take the frame as a sport equipment on the plane which should come in at around 50 bugs.

Now my first big concerne is the carnet. As the country I was thinking of doing this from is either Australia or NZ I will have a stamp.

Second issue was that the bike is in parts when entering Germany. But I am German and it is registered in Germany, so I'm not sure if it actually is THAT big an issue. As I willl put it back together than, after some repairs.


I guess the carnet thing will be the biggest issue, but anything else I missed that makes it totally impossible?

Just a strange idea I had. I have no experience with shipping or stuff like that, so be not too harsh with my little idea.


Cheers
Tim
