Want to share container los angeles - valparaiso chile - december

Hello Everyone,

I'm looking for folks who want to join a container shipping south. Here is the note I received from the fellow who is organizing the whole thing, Gastonia. So far he has been super helpful. Come join us, it will bring the costs down.

Cheers,
Stovepipe

Please join our cargo group heading to Chile between Dec 18-26 and we are looking for other people who want to share (and lower) the freight costs from LA, California to Valparaiso, Chile. The planned arrival date in Chile is January 12, 2013 or so. the bikes need to arrive in LA for loading in approx. the second week of December.

currently, there are 2 of us on this shipment. if you are interested in sharing the container with us, PM me, contact Gaston E., All the costs, details, and logistics are at that this link SAMERICAXPLORER - OCEAN AIR SHIPPING Opportunities & references for S.America - ADVrider

He takes care of everything. services & fees at orifgen and destination. pricing for the people currently involved is 1,820.00 USD each, but would go down as more riders join a container.

So i learned my bike will arrive in seattle/tacoma Dec 16. I cant make a LA container close until 7 to 10 days later, counting customs clearance, state registration, bike refit with jesse bag mounts, etc.

Gaston mentions 2nd week of december in LA. Stovepipe, what is the latest plan regarding departure dates, and how flexible are you?

Are we still just two bikes?

Jim

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
