Comments: 

Shipped a DL1000 Vstrom via Los Angeles to Heidelberg, via Hamburg and Frankfurt Germany.
Trailered the bike to LA from Ladysmith BC to take advantage of a west coast container shipment. We were going down that way anyway.
Stefan has you provide all the documentation with the bike and a deposit to hold a space to him in advance, then balance before the bike is shipped. You require alot of documents to be 'notarized' so that he can act as your agent. We spent money with a lawyer only to find out that the logistics company we dropped the bike with had a notary on site that could have done it much cheaper. Oh well, live and learn.
Stefan ships with re-usable metal crates, everything you want to go should be packed up with the bike, we had panniers stuffed with riding gear. All ships for 1 low price.
He has had shipments from Vancouver in past and more recently, and does a R&R shipment out of Orlando Florida.
Communication could be a little better, but I would strongly recommend him.
