Comments: 

Don't bother emailing as I did. Over two weeks I sent countless emails and made many phone calls and accomplished nothing. When I arrived at Variglog, right before the passenger terminal at GIG, we negotiated the price which started at $2400.00 and ended at $750. Because there was no agent used, there is more running around from office to office; two full days, but ends up being cheaper. Miguel was unbelievably helpful and followed up on every detail; even calling Miami to make sure all went well at that end. I had instructions emailed to me on what I had to do and where I had to go once in Miami. It also went smoothly. I flew in at 11:00 am, took a taxi to Variglog cargo, checked out of customs, and was on my way out of Miami, on my bike, at 2:00 pm. The people at Variglog in Miami and customs were helpful and nice. They were all very interested in my trip.
