Vancouver, Canada to London, England by sea
I will be shipping a BMW R80RT from Vancouver B.C. to London England by sea for a hopeful delivery in the first week of May 2002, and I am wondering about a couple of things. I have quite a few qoutes for shipping, with customs clearance it is about$300Can more.I know there is a flat $100Can fee for customs that I will have to pay anyway, but is it worth $200 for hassle free entry.I know costs add up quickly in a foreign port,but has anyone done this recently that could give advice?
I am also wondering, that with transit times of anywhere from 4-8 weeks weather I should fully compress the front forks of the bike when I tie it down for shipment.Will this damage an already soft front suspension? I do not want to have to put new springs in the forks.Thanks.
