Hellmanns flew the bike on Qantas. The cost was about $300 more than shipping by sea but I saved that on the Singapore end in time and dock fees. It didn't cost me anything to collect the bike except my time. To satisfy Dangerous Goods people I had to give them an address and phone number in Singapore so I gave them the number of a hostel. I didn't stay there so I called Qantas as soon as the flight came in to Singapore and let them know I was there to pick it up.

I was very happy with the service.
