Comments: 

This price includes the crate building, dangerous goods paperwork and 20 days storage in customs bonded area in Ulan Baatar. Storage price is 5USD per day.
We (I and 5 other bikers) were one of their first biking customers and I ticked No in answer to the question "Would you recommend..." because they had a lot of shortcomings when I used them:
- Paperwork was not clear (but everything worked out for me)
- My front brake disc was damaged during shipping
- Payment was complicated: not used to non-corporate customers, they have no credit card machine and all is by wire transfer)

Crating takes the better part of a day and you need to participate. You have to disconnect the battery and empty the fuel tank. No fluid containers should be present in your luggage (whether it's oil or shampoo, nothing).

They can ship anywhere, the cheapest is when they can use the Mongolian airline. To Bangkok they use Korean Airlines and they apply a 30% markup to the airline's quote. I don't know if you can deal directly with the airline but it would save a lot of money.
