In short, I shipped my bike from Oz to Peru. I will never send it by boat again. the delay, the added local charges and the cost of waiting for it simply is not financial sense. Due mostly because of an inept shipping agent (Bikes Abroad) but the taste is still fresh and bad. Thankfully I am time rich (now money poor thank you BA) but if time to wait is not an option and you dont speak the local language then you are behind the ball from the start.
Can't recommend any one but I will be flying my bike for the next 3.5 years of my RTW journey!
Cheers
