Shipping from Panama City to Bogota!!
Just came back from the cargo terminal at Tocumen. We spoke with Girag and Copa (also UPS but they said ¨no¨). Girag seems to very much have it together. Very friendly and helpful. Spoke English (although we didn´t need it thanks to SALCAR). Quoted us $500 for the bikes (each) and didn´t seem concerned about gas or battery. Copa quoted a bit less but there may have been another charge for dangerous goods permit! Dunno. Because of the holidays, Girag were backed up a bit so we have a reservation on the flight at 4:00 AM Thursday morning (need the bikes there at 9:00 AM Wednesday). Gets in at 9:00 AM Thursday. We will fly Copa and get to Bogota at 12:00. The lady said we could probably (?) get the bikes out of customs that afternoon. It seems to be going just like all the others have said. I´ll let you all know after we recover the bikes.
Anyone else in the area going to Bogota around this time?
