Hello Folks! I've done the shipment from Chennai to KL because I did not like the idea of bein escorted through Burma and Thailand, neither I wanted to put the bike on a plane from Kathmandu. I also expected to save some money.

Looking back - all the 3 options seem to have the same value, meaning problems, advantages, costs and so on. I couldn't recommend how to proceed going east from India. But if you want to ship from Chennai, I highly recommend Skylark Cargo Service/Ms Renuka, whose contact is in this description. She took care of me like my own mother and she and her team had a huge interest in sorting out everything for me. Until the ship left India, everything was nice and calm, then everything went wrong ;) The contact for KL I got from Ms Renuka did respond in very weird ways or not at all. Everything got delayed and I eventually took them off their duty.

If you want to clear your container in Port Klang/Malaysia, this is my recommendation: Get in touch with Trio Nation-Wide Transport/Vanessa.

As Ms Renuka on the indian side, Vanessa did a very proper job in Malaysia, if I would have known her earlier, the shipment would have been around 1200 USD in total. We used a 20 feet container, no crate, the bike got lashed straight to the container. There would be more space obviously, so if you go with 2 or 3 bikes you'll save some cash - but: customs in Malaysia will still be expensive and costs per bike I think. Please feel free to contact me for further details, good luck and safe travels!!
