Cost Paid at Start (US $): 
2900 Euros, 2 bikes
Comments: 

I send two bikes in the same crate. Bikes are small (honda nx 250). I tried different companies, and it was the only one that was doing bikes. 2900 Euros seems VERY expensive comparing to other shippements I have seen here. It includes the crate (approx 600 Euros), the fuel surcharge (420 euros), dangereous good surcharge, taxes, etc... The shipment it self was 1600 Euros. The crate was made by a specialised company because Gontrand won t accept home made crate. (they told me they would eventually have to put a crate over my crate if I do it my self).

Except for the price, the guys of Gondrand were very nice.
I just had to pay in Buenos Aires 315 Pesos for the handling at the airport.
In B.A, the guys opened the box in front of me so I could check the content. I could then mount the side boxes and top case on the bikes there. (1 hour of work, because it s hand made).

The whole process took 5 hours in B.A. (note : you should first go to the carrier office to get the receiver doc before going to the douana ).
