Bike forwarding from Capetown
Hi - I am dropping my Tenere and 3 others on Dec 9th Capetown and want them shipped/freighted back to the UK. Anyone got a good contact - I will be pushed on time and want to arrive Capetown pm Friday 9th and dump the bikes and fly out the next morning . The less hanging around the better. Jeremy Aitchison

Hope I'm not too late.
I chose Bradley from Menzies/IMA/MMA (whatever it is) to ship my bike home from Cape Town to Frankfurt by plane in mid 2010. The short: 800 Euro (incl. all fees, crate) for 200 kg brutto volumetric/real weight (incl. crate), no problems, no hassle, very fast. Highly recommended! Here are a couple of threads about Menzies by Dan et al. who used them before me: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...-cheaper-33929 http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...argo-2-a-33148 Bradley's cell: 0027842092586 They're located right at the airport cargo terminal: S33.96112 E18.59430 - Google Maps Note that this is a new address, they moved in 2010. or in GPS: S 33 57.667 E 18 35.658 I phoned around to get quotes from freight agents, but they were all MUCH more expensive than Bradley. You have to give him notice about a week in advance, so he can book the freight, arrange for a crate etc. Customs is done 200 meters from their office, the first time anybody checked the frame number, actually. But all very fast and straight forward. The cargo arrived a day late in Frankfurt, but apparently that's normal for cargo. No major fees on the Frankfurt side. Good luck, Julian https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5...Vo/s512/09.jpg |
