Unusual but cheap place to ship back to Britain. Demerara Shipping exists mainly to ship their product (rum) to Europe but take cargo, too. I used them to send personal belongings home 7 years ago with no problems.

Guyana is a major producer of quality hardwoods and so you can knock together your own exotic wood crate for next to nothing. In fact, while I was putting it together in the warehouse, their maintenance joiner ambled over and said that if I'd just turned up there with the bike, they'd have knocked up a crate for me.

Ships leave every three weeks and take 2 weeks to Ipswich - Sods law, I got there just at the wrong time and shipping will take the maximum time. Still, it gives me a few weeks to work on the receiving agents in Britain to try and get the costs down at that end.
