South America shipping partner request: Florida to Montevideo Dec 2015 - Cheap 40ft

Since the ferry is not working, we are looking for a shipping partner to South America before Dakar 2016:
  • To share a 40ft high cube container from Jacksonville, FL to Montevideo, Uruguay.
  • The vessel leaves JAX every Weds with 26 day transit and 1 week cutoff before shipping. We were looking at 11/25/15 Cutoff in JAX, 12/2/15 Sail date, 12/28/15 arrival in Montevideo
  • The total quote for the 40 ft container was $3158. We would split this
  • Price includes loading, trucking to the port, export customs clearance, terminal handling and documentation fees in Montevideo. We would still need to get it out of the container there
  • Vehicle must fit under 8.5ft door height and not be over 21ft long, or bring many bikes
  • We have a great shipping agent in FL, he is currently sending a car down now, so we will have some recent 1st hand knowledge on how smoothly Montevideo is running for Vehicles.

FYI -I live in Phoenix

Cheers

Monica & Jeff Yaeger

Have you looked into shipping costs from JAX or MIA to either Colombia or Venezuela as an alternative?

Since it is so much closer to both ... has to be cheaper than going all the way to
Uruguay, yes?

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
