Shipments done by Travellers

i found jet express to be very good to deal with and would use them in the future it only took a day to get the bike crated and another to get to calcutta total price was 1,206.87 usd plus 102 usd to get it out of custooms in calcutta all went very smoothly

esay as usual,
no crate,
but poor service by Kelly Williams,

an extra US$ 90,00 for storage (2h)
at Santiago Airport by LAN Chile

real easy,
I send the main office an e-mail when I wanted the bike to arrive. They send you a date (3 days before departure)
when you have to bring the bike, you can leave it with 1/4 tank of gas. They drive it on the ship for you.
You can even pay for the shipment upon arrival in Los Angeles and pay only the handling fee in Belgium (about 170 euro).
Even though there were a few big hurricanes the ship arrived at the exact date they told me. (it takes 24 days)
You do have to provide an adress in the states or U.S. customs won't release it.
You have to call the office in Port Huaneme before you pick up the bike, because you have to make an appointment with customs first( it is located around the corner of their office).
Customs is real easy takes 20 minutes and costs nothing, you get an import permit for 1 year.
Next go to the Wallenius office, pay 10 dollars handling fee, they store the bike 1 week for free.
Go pick up your bike at the end of the street and drive of. It's that simple.
Very easy, real good service, no need for crating.

We have just shipped the bike via SDV in Dili. SDV easy to find - marked on every map of Dili we found. Eric (bloke in charge) very nice guy and willing to negotiate on price. Cost us $113 (should have been $182 but he waived their $50 custom charge which is basically getting the carnet stamped and measured the bike smaller).

Eric is on to it but other guys in office VERY relaxed about everything - forgot to give me bill of lading and I had to go back to collect it!

No need to crate bikes - just rode it into container and strapped it down. Too easy.

Shipping went fine and no hassles Darwin end either.

When you arrive in Darwin go to Customs House and jack up an appointment for them to inspect bike for carnet. You can also book and pay for AQIS inspection at Customs office (AUS$87).

Customs just want to check frame/engine no.s and stamp carnet, AQIS check bike and luggage clean and not carrying any nasties.

Can steam clean bikes in Dili
