Shipping from Bolivia or Peru
The original plan was to ship from Equador but things change and am now thinking of transporting my bike back to the UK from either Bolivia or Peru.
Any info, tips or recommendations gratefully received.
Cheers

Suggest you contact the international companies such as Hellman Worldwide Logistics, Panalpina, and P&O Nedlloyd in the first instance. Links to their websites, which will give you their local addresses, are on the Shippers page:

Good luck!

Thanks Susan
Unfortunately it seems that these companies have more business than they know what to do with as they (Hellmans and Panalpina) have not bothered to reply to my e mails. I have however found a local outfit called RECSA INTERNATIONAL S.A. in Lima who have been helpful. I will let you know how it all works out.

Hi
I shipped my bike from LIma Peru to Sydney,australia with Nedlloyd.It wasnt too easy and had to be done in person.Even in person I had some difficulties.There was not sufficient docos for customs at Lima's end,finally,I was told to take the bike to the dock's myself where it would be "crated" at an additioinal cost of $us150. And to make it worse,I literally had to leave the key on the bike in this huge yard,good thing I ensured it,when it landed in Sydney(6 weeks later) it had been just place inside a container with lots of boxes stacked to the ceiling of the container and of course you guessed it...no crate.
You are best to ship from Lima,it will defenetly be much cheaper and there will be less paper work to fill out.

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.
