Hong Kong to Kazakhstan
I've read some the posts by travellers who have shipped their bikes for several hundred dollars to various parts of the world.
So I must be doing something wrong - because all the quotes I get for shipping from Hong Kong to Astana, Kazakhstan - whether by sea, air or land - are in excess of $3,500 US  What could I be doing wrong?

Maybe sending to a place, that´s a bit off from the main freight routes, therefore upping your costs significantly? But yeah, quotes can differ a lot, too, if you need to send it there, you´ll just need to keep asking around.

But trucking it should be dirt cheap. A group of Dutch people are transporting bikes from HOlland to Astana in July ... its being shipped from Europe to China ... then land freighted across CHina and Kazakhstan to Almaty ... and thats all for about 500 EUR per bike. So land freighting it should cost you much less than that. 400 bux tops. You just have to find a shipper with regular runs to Astana.

Cheers!
Thanks! I'll keep my hopes alive then and look for land shippers.
 I don't suppose you know the shipping company they are gonna use on the China to Kazakhstan leg of their journey?
