Shipping - Sydney-Santiago/SA?
Bugger Me!
It seems that unless you're travelling to/from USA or Europe, no-one wants your cargo business! Anyone got any points-of-contact for transporting bike from Sydney (Aust) to Chile/S America (and eventually back again)? (QANTAS doesn't seem to want my business either!) I'm seriously considering buying/selling a bike in Chile/SA instead. Alex. |

Hi Alex
Erin & Chris Ratay recently shipped from NZ to Buenos Aires with United Airlines, but they do advise that there are fewer cheap options for Aus/NZ to South America than before. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/tri...dToBuenosAires The company they dealt with, AFS Freight Management, is also in Australia. AFS Freight Management (2000) Pty Ltd Air Cargo Services Unit 1,1801 Botany Rd Botany NSW 2019 Ph: (02) 9316 8923 Another possibility which may be of interest, depending on your departure date, is the following HUBB post on 17 November: Matt Kolbinsky has a US registered R1100GS 1995 for sale in BA, Argentina at Christmas, 2001. Alternatively riding the bike back to USA from BA for him. Terms negotiable. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb...ML/000083.html There may be a number of motorcyclists in southern Chile or Argentina around Christmas 2001 whose next destination is Australia. Either a bike swap or sale might save expensive freight costs for both parties. Try posting in the Bike Swap! or Travel Bikes for Sale/Wanted. Chris and Erin also recommend www.bikeshareworld.com for bike swaps, and have done some themselves through these guys. As always, please let us know how you do. ------------------ Good luck and safe travels!
