Shipments done by Travellers

Air Menzies already handled the import in Auckland when the bike came from Malaysia, so I went with them again for the export to South America. All went very well. NZ typical pricing though.

No crate needed.

Definetly recommended!

Misleading information: I asked by email a quote for the total costs, at BOTH sides. I got a quote and paid in Dili exactly the quoted amount, 600 AUD. I asked mrs. Castulo about the cost at destination, included or not. She stayed vaguely. I was quite surprised to be charged in Darwin for another 290 AUD.
No service: I had to belay the bike in the container. Nobody checked. I had to prepare the dangerous good declaration myself. Never before - and I did shipping several times - I had to do this administration by myself.
Considerable delay: the shipping took twice the promised time.

If Australia is your destination and you are not interested in the eastern islands of Indonesia, consider shipping by air from Bali.

The indian company Expo Freight was good in everything expect the delay. Manoj who was my main contact but not in charge did his best to make it smoothly, sending email to his collegues of the department in charge and at the lower price. My bike finaly didn't get the planned vessel and arrived with average two weeks delay from the first date scheduled.

The arrival company in Malaysia took a small week to clear, they were not familiar with the process, now they are. Very good contact but quite expensice regarding what I paid in Indian. They care the insurance (180 rigits) for me and custom clearance. Contact : Irene Lim from World Link cargo, iren...@worldlinkcargo.com

The bike was very well packed by indians and found in good condition.
 

You will find a perfect, very detailled instructions for the process, including every single step in this HUBB thread. I used these instructions to airfreight my motorcycle, it worked very well as described in this thread:

I asked Toll a quote for the costs at BOTH sides. I got a quote of about 600 usd and paid that amount in Dilli. However, when I arrived in Darwin to pick up the bike there was a second bill of 290 usd for harbour costs and terminal handling. I complained at Toll. Their response: "Sorry, next time we will make a better quote." There was NO service at all. In Dilli I had to fill the dangerous good document myself, which is generally the duty of the shipping agent. The bike was not crated but straightly strapped in the container. I did the strapping myself. Nobody checked it. In Darwin nobody could tell me how to get the bike cleared. The actual shipping time exceeded the estimated shipping time twice.

In short: HIDDEN COSTS, LONG DELAY, NO SERVICE. BAD! Avoid Toll if you can.
