Shipping Buenos Aires to UK

Hi all

Was hoping if there is anyone that can help. We are trying to ship our vehicle back from Argentina to the UK but are struggling to find shipping agents in Buenos Aires that can provide us with quotes. so far we have tried the following:

Hellman, Grimaldi and cargo plus, all agents that have been mentioned on this site in the past - we have tried emailing on several occasions over the past 2 weeks but have had no response. This is normal?

We have received one quote from foxcargo for a 20' container which seems very expensive as follows:

Ocean Freight US$ 1,850
Customs fees US$ 150
Local Fees/charges US$ 500
Custom Broker Bue US$ 200
Warehousing charges US$ 980
Port Terminal Charges US$ 330
Total US$4,010

Has anyone shipped this route recently? and if so are the above prices reasonable? any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I have just talked to them... they do not ship the motorbikes. They are expert on moving...

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
