Hi Jordan
I'm also looking to ship two bikes back to Australia in the next month or two. I have just started looking into it so only have 1 quote at this stage.
If you have space needed to be filled, I'm quite flexible on when the bikes travel.
Cheers
Joe

Hello Joe, I have just sent you an email. I too will be looking to ship my bike back to Australia in early November but am flexible on dates after the end of October. Ivan from Bikes Abroad has a container leaving at the end of October.

Cheers
Brian

So in the end i picked up a crate from Peter Stevens - a big motorbike import company over here for $50 and then modifying that to make it as small as possible.
Im now flying the bike from Melbourne to London and i got my quote for 1200.
Just pm me for the specifics if that would work for you.
Have a good day,
Jordan
