Shipping Panama-Colombia June 07

Hi,
I am Jose from Germany and I am travelling now with my 4x4 car heading south to Argentina. Right now i am in Panama-City and we are looking for some options to ship the car a bit cheaper to Colombia.

We can use a 20-feet-container and its possible that we have some space for one bike more in the container.

We can use a 40-feet container, wich is much cheaper in relation for his size. In this will fit my car and maybe 6-8 bikes. The 40-feet container will cost with all the fees apr. 1400 US $. I would pay the half and for 700 $ you can ship up to 8 bikes.

We like to leave the next 3-4 weeks.

My girlfriend is from Mexico and she will do all the paperwork. So I aspect less problems with all these sh...

Saludos
Jose

I'm currently in San Jose, CR and will head to Panama City within a week. I'm in a van, which I was told would fill half of a 40 foot container. I was given a quote a little bit higher than you with Barwil Agencies. If we could both fit I'd be interested in sharing, though I might want to leave earlier than you.

If you head this way its cheap, quiet and safe and we´ll help you in any way we can.

We have airport pick-up and since I have flown my bike in and out of Cali, I can help with all the legal matters of arriving or leaving Colombia.

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. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
