The fees will be significantly lower for the actual bike. I asked them to ship a bike sized 2.290 x 835 x 1.404 mm. The actual shipping cost will be lower than that because I'll ship it on a smaller crate (the one postet by pecha). I just kept the above measures to be able to compare the different companies. So it'll be a little cheaper in the end.

Only 10 days to go and I finally chose a shipping company. I decided to go with In Time, a smaller shipping company that seems to be very trustworthy. They charge around EUR 1.400 (including insurance) which is more thn EUR 800 cheaper than DHL's offer. However, InTime's USP really is their service. Whenever I asked something they would reply within 1-2 days and patiently explain me everything. So let's see how everything works out...
