Comments: 

That price was for TWO bikes (BMW F650GS and Honda NX250), and our luggage, leathers, helmets, and anything else we could squeeze into the crate. Included crating, loading into the shipping container, all the fees and paperwork on the Australian side.

All we had to do was drop the bikes off at th ecrating warehouse, empty the tanks, disconnect the batteries and walk away. Once the bikes landed in Canada I did the paperwork and legwork to get them released (which wasn't very difficult, and saved us some agency fees).

Marc is sort of a middleman/fixer, with contacts in the shipping business, but both him and the guy he found to do the leg work knew their stuff, talked through all the options with us, and there were no problems when I suggested I'd do some of the steps myself to bring the price down. They were really understanding about the traveller's budget.

Loads of communication; I skyped them a few times to hash out details and change some minor elements, and they were the ones who mentioned when I'd changed something that brought the price down, and adjusted their quote appropriately.

Overall, highly recommended. Feel free to pm me if you want more details or have questions. A
