Comments: 

Process was smooth and communication good.  Cristina speaks ok english and was very responsive to emails.  We left Colombia 2 weeks prior to bikes leaving and all went well but shipping ended up being about a week later than originally asked for - partly due to airlines finding room on plane.  Bikes were partially broken down (remove front wheel, handlebars and my front fairing, and stapped down onto open pallet then shrink wrapped and all arrived fine.  Important that bikes are clean to pass Canadian customs.  1/4 tank gas ok and could keep other fluids in bike. For reference my motos was KTM 690 Enduro and wifes a Honda CRF250L.  Total for both motos as $2900 US and we were able to squeeze in our soft panniers and riding gear, except helmets. My only complaint was we were originally quoted then prepaid based on 700 kgs cubic volume and shipped weight was 500 kgs but I think there may have been some other airline charges they covered, not sure.  Overall they were great and price was fair.  We originally were giong to ship home from Lima but received quotes there for $4000 US per bike! - worth the extra 3000 km ride.
