Sorry for the late reply. Things went basically OK, except James Cargo sent my bike to Colombia so that it arrived before me (despite the agent in Bogota insisting that I had to arrive before the bike). The bike was therefore sort of impounded and it took a bit more time and an extra US$150 to get the bike released. As far as the crating went: they basically just built the crate around the bike. No wheels, handlebars, windscreen or even luggage were removed to reduce the volume of the crate. I believe it would have been cheaper if this had been done to reduce volumetric thing. It did make it easier in Bogota to drive away though as no rebuilding had to be done. Overall I would give James Cargo 5 out of 10.
