Container Share. Sydney to Vladivostok May 2020.

We are shipping our bikes (3) from Sydney to Vladivostok for a late May 2020 departure to all points west. I know the ropes a little, as we took a container of bikes (8) over in 2010. I plan on using Yuri to clear the bikes as he is the best. So, we have room for another 5 or so bikes in the container.All welcome.

Matey, we are planning for the bikes to arrive in Vladivostok around the 15th May 2020. If we can get 8 bikes to fill a 20' container the price should be around $AUD700/bike. Or less. In 2010 we filled the container and I think it's do-able again. I am getting more detailed prices as we speak.

It looks like we have 4 bikes to go into the container. If we get 5 it'll be $AUD1,100, while 8 will be under $AUD700. I'm waiting on another Companies Vladivostok man to return from leave before I can get another firm quote.

Hi Chris

I may not be a smart man...

I take it the container is costing around $5600 all up?

(Interested in cost for the future).

That's probably the upper end of the scale.

Northern and central Asia.

I also posted this topic on the Northern and Central Asia page, where it is getting more replies, so when I return from Nepal on 15th December, I'll move things along and update on Northern and Central Asia page.
Thanks.

This still on? Still room? I was planning shipping to Japan, ferry to Vladivostok early June. Your plan to Vladivostok is a better plan.
