Comments: 

It was the 5th time I shipped (Air) a F800 GS overseas and by far the most hasslefree, easiest and cheapest experience of 'em.

Gail prepared my quote, contract, instructions, invoice and freight documents superquick and so she answered all my questions within minutes.

For some reason I had to fly in the same plane (passenger ticked was cheep) but therefor the bike check-in was super easy:
24 hours before departure I dropped the bike with panniers full of equipment and gear (no liquids, electronics, inflammables) mounted, less than one gallon of fuel and disconnected battery, uncrated at the freight building, where they strapped it safely on a pallet.

Because I arrived in Paris on a sunday I picked up the bike the next morning. It took about 90 minutes to handle all the formalities (customs, freight etc.).

As offered the entire shipping costs were 1'085 USD, Airport tax where another €90.

I highly recommend Motorcycle Express and would choose them again.
