storage fees

I plan on shipping my bike from south america to europe sometime next year by cargo ship. i had planned on doing some other traveling so i would not be there when the bike arrived in europe. it could be up to a month before i picked up the bike. i know storage charges can vary, but does anyone have expierence on what it would cost in storage to leave the bike in the shipping agents or the customs warehouse for a month until i picked it up and cleared it out.

cheers

tim

If you did not clear customs it stays in a 'bond store' that has special ($$$) security requirements. I'd think you'd want your shipping agent to have it clear customs at least - then ask the shipping agent for cheap storage? Note the theft possiblity!
