Comments: 

We came with a company called Wallenius Wilhelmson. They are a Swedish company which specialises in shipping vehicles, usually from vehicle manufacturers to various parts of the world, in particular, they have many destinations in Europe and both the west and east coast of north America.

They use roll on roll off style of ship, so saving the expense of crating.

We came from Southampton to Galveston, Texas, for a cost of 450 English pounds, plus port fees at each end, and insurance, total about 600 pounds per bike. Total time was 21 days from the ship leaving to us getting the bikes. There was no hassle at either end, other than convincing the customs people in the states that we were not importing the bikes (the Carnet de Passage came in useful here).

We arranged all our shipping thru a travel agent in the UK, who is well known for arranging bike shipping and bike trips outside of the UK. His name is David Grist of HC travel. www.hctravel.com email dav...@hctravel.com

To be honest I would try and contact Wallenius Wilhelmson direct and save the travel agents fees in future.
