Shipments done by Travellers

The HU Shipping Database!

From THIS page, you can find details of shipments ALREADY MADE by travellers, both air and sea, so you can plan your own shipment.

For each shipment, the details include Shipping Date, Cost, Shipper Contact details and a Description of the experience, often including very detailed and extremely useful information about the requirements for crating or the paperwork involved at the destination location.

If you are aware of any more up-to-date information, or you know of any shipping details for locations which aren't listed below:

Please let us know here for minor details, or
Submit information on a shipment YOU HAVE ALREADY MADE here.

Thanks to all who have contributed this information, keep it coming!

NOTE: This is not our normal view, but Google's API has somehow broken the view with a map and everything nicely laid out. We will fix it as soon as possible, but it's a very big job for us. Any Google API experts feel free to contact us! For now this will have to do, sorry.

Usage: Enter one or more of the fields, as you wish. Blank field means "all". Be sure to use correct country names, e.g. "United Kingdom" not UK or England. Unfortunately "united states" (united states of america doesn't work) gets United Kingdom as well, just work down to the bottom or last page. Not case-sensitive. Results sorted by newest first.

I arranged it all through Chris at Jungle Junction, Nairobi. The Seaways offices are 2 kms down the road. They were extremely helpful and it was all arranged very quickly and easily. Chris at JJ arranged to crate the bike (cost about $200) and I flew back to the Uk and left them too it.

The only problem was that it took a lot longer than they had said. I had been promised that the bike would fly the week after I left but it took another 4 weeks before it flew. However they delivered it to my house in the UK and although it wasn't cheap (£2000 or $3000) it was very very easy.

Apart from the extra time it took I would give then 5 out of 5.

Do not use these guys. Ridiculously expensive, unprofessional, unhelpful and it took a very long time to get the bike despite being told every day that it would fly. I was sitting in Bangkok for weeks and the guy at Landbridge drove me insane.

I wanted to get the bike from UB to Bangkok because you effectively can

Getrouted shipped my bike( Harley-Davidson Electra-Glide)last year in Juli from Felixstowe to Melbourne. I toured around Australia 5 months,and they shipped my bike back to Barcelona,in Spain, I have to pick the bike up in Barcelona the end of March.You hand them your Carnet de Passage,when you delliver your bike in Felixstow(CLEAN). After 5 weeks on sea,the bike arrives
in Melbourne.You can follow the vessel by the internet.When you arrive in Melbourne,you contact Dave,he will let you know when you get your Carnet back(He also does the Customs Clearance),he let you know when the container is ready to unload. When it is unload,you go to the shipping company,conect your battery again,and you can ride your bike on Australian roads.When you get your bike to Felixstowe,it may stay 5 liters of fuel in the tank,only the battery must be disconected. The price is for a return shipment. For me it was Felixstowe-Melbourne and Sydney-Barcelona.
