Info for shipping companies from USA or Canada to Russia.

[Jaaty]

I have been searching extensively here for any concrete info about shipping bikes from USA or Canada to Russia and cannot find any info about name of the companies and contact information for any that ship that way. Also, nothing much about the cost these days.
One of the companies mentioned the most is Fesco, but after contacting them, they are not offering this kind of service anymore.
I got few other contacts from them to other companies and currently am waiting for replies.
Will post what I will find out.
Any information from anyone here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Preferably from Anchorage, Alaska to Vladivostok, Russia, which should be possible these days...

Jaaty,
We are having the same problems from Canada/ USA to Japan, sounds easy, but just gotta find the right people . It will probably end up going from Seattle or Vancouver over to Japan and then catch the ferry to Vladivostok. We have found nothing at all in Anchorage and like yourselves we waiting on a few replies, when we get it sorted we shall post our results on here, good luck and keep posting.

It appears, the most commonly used route is from Vancouver to Seoul to Sokcho to Zarubino (west of Vladivostok).

But, looking forward to some more qualified replies, others than my observations.

So far we have found the best option to be to get a container from either Seattle or Everett, WA to Vladivistok. The pricing we got so far is about $2600 per container, which does not sound so bad, if we can find more bikes and share the price (did that from Panama to Equador and even though a bit of hassle, it worked out very cheap as we found 3 other bikes, totaling in 5 bikes, which fit perfectly).
Plus a bit of fees, which I will post later when I have all the info.
Still gonna try to find something from Anchorage, but we are flexible.
Bushman uk... when are you planning to ship? We are gonna be there sometime in May 2011.
Will post more as we find out more.
Still... any more concrete info is very welcome. Or any experience or advice.
Cheers.
Jaaty.

This pricing is from Everett, just have been told that rates from Seattle are higher.

I am planing this trip for 2012. But, I need airfreight shipment. Sea freight will take too much time for me.

I`m interesting in the other direction. The best option is the shiping bike from St. Petersburg to NY. I have a lot of time and the key condition is pricing. So the seafreight are the more preferable option. But I have not got an idea at the moment how to organize this movement. The most freight forwarders operate with a container shippings so I have to order the whole container for one bike. It`s too expensive...Moreover the most companys prefer to deal with a legal entity.:confused1:

Jatty,
Sorry for the slow reply been busy making money in our present climate ( i'm a heating engineer )
We are entering the USA in the first week of April and then taking a ride down the gulf of Mexico and then visiting my son who will be near San Diego then up the pacific highway to Anchorage via top of the world highway and then if needs must back down to Vancouver. We should be looking to exit to Japan around mid to late may .
we are still waiting on replies from shipping companies !!
