Information about this Shipment

Shipping date: 
July, 2004
Cost Paid at Start (US $): 
around 450 usd for a 2,4 m3 wooden crate, all included with the crate.
Comments: 

I contacted a few companies and I finally chose Clasquin for their serious and understanding. They gave me a straight and detailed quotation, at a good price.

They never shipped a motorbike before so they did a great job of searching exact information (with customs etc ...) everything went quick and smooth, excellent service and also very friendly, easy.

Madame Thavisouk also oriented me to a customs / shipping agent in Le Havre to take care of the bike in Le Havre port. This agent decided to sponsor the costs of handling in France (maybe 200-300 euros), so I'll have to pay only the customs in France. This agent is Leon Vincent.

Mister Vincent Leterc was my interlocutor (lete...@leonvincent.fr)

Also special thanks to Mister Laurent Kervizic (l.ke...@sdv.com) from the shipping company SDV (http://www.sdv.com/sites/sdv/corporate/default_en.aspx) for his precious advice and kindness.

I do recommend those companies and those people. Thanx to them all :-)

If BMW Barcelona Motors (email: prin...@dealer.bmw.co.th, website: http://www.bmw.co.th/ ) could have given me a crate, I would have saved around 100 usd if I had taken this option (the price of the crate and one transport) and maybe I could have optimized the dimensions of the crate a bit more.
