Shipping

[QUOTE=pecha72;147052]when you have more, I´d really appreciate your info about this!QUOTE]

Hi Pecha,

OK more info. The cost per bike, Bombay to Bandar Abas is about 400 usd. On top of that there is the cost of crating it - about 11,000 Rupees. This is plus taxes. so the total is around 5-600 Euros.

We found that cheapest way to get ourselves to Iran, is via Dubai. 3000 rps to Dubai and 150 USD from there to Bandar. Check the net. India Dubai is vai Air India Express.

Here are the details of the travel agent we used and she has all the contacts in the shipping world and the process seems quite painless as they handle everything. The shipping agent, (Name of Aubury) says he can handle the shipping in either direction.

Marie D'Mello
Anderson Travels PVT LTD
103 Veena Chambers
21 Dalal Street
Fort
Mumbai 400 023

Tel: +91 22 2266 5194 / 4202
Email: andtrvls 'at' vsnl.net or andtrvls1 'at' mtnl.net.in ( substitute @ for 'at')

The shipping agent is:
Aubury D'Suza
12/14 Pilanmai Building, near Deven Motor
Vaju Kotak Mang
Ballard Estate
Mumbai 400 001

Tel: +91 66333261
email: auburydeasouza 'at' hotmail.com or jpintl 'at' rediffmail.com

Both of tese people are the owners of the companys. I have met them and they seem very capable and competent.


We are shipping our bikes back to the uk from Bombay. Too much pain in my leg from the crash in Pakistan to carry on and enjoy it plus our Iran visas are about to expire. The cost of that is 54,000 rupees for everything - crating and all taxes included.

Best of luck with your trip.

John

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.
