Just a quick note as I'm on my way to work.

Several people have commented about insurance, I'm uncertain if they're referring to the UK vehicle insurance or shipping insurance. I do have valid UK bike insurance but don't know if it'll cover this - I'll definitely try. Shipping insurance was to be handled by the shipping agent and so I don't know if it happened, have no paperwork or contact info for the insurance company - if insurance was actually obtained.

I don't have much in the way of paperwork and I haven't paid for the bike being shipped to the UK (have paid for US to UK). The company involved is very laid back about paperwork and kept saying "we'll sort it all out" and "no need to pay until after the bike is shipped" which is all very nice if everything goes as they say it will. It came across as being very self-assured and confident. So I don't have bill of lading, terms of shipment, etc.. I was a bit naive and I definitely would something want more solid in terms of written documentation in future. I do have a receipt from when I dropped the bike off with their suggested agents in Houston and have printed out a copy of their tracking website (which shows nothing useful). Especially for the US to UK trip a lot of the dealings were over email and mobile phone.

To work (not by bike though).
