When i was shipping my bike to South America shipping by air was over tre times as expensive as sea. And i found it a relief to get the bike sent off some time in advance. Some people make a lot off effort packing as small as possible, but bye sea the price pr m2 was so small that the convinience of being able to just wheel the bike out and drive away is worthwhile i think.
In some countries you need a proof tha a wooden crate is treated (expensive hasle). I vent to motorcycle dealers and 3 of 3 was positive to give me a crate or cardboard and straps. No problem. Just fint a crate that is big enough/small enough.
