Comments: 

Excellent service from Team Work Cargo! Over 1000 USD (!) cheaper than Eagle Exports (often recommended on the web) and no problem to crate 2 Husky 701 enduro LR in 1 crate (about 2.2m³, 500kgs). Eagle Export was greedy and just lied to our faces. They swore 2 bikes in 1 crate was absolutely forbidden and he had checked with the airlines... NOT!

Team Work Cargo allowed us to build the crate to our preferences (compact, light yet strong), together with their carpenter. They are really helpful, responsive and keep their promises. No hidden costs, perfect service. They know their business! Be prepared for cash payment though as Nepal limits the weekly withdrawal with credit cards at ATM's so it can take a while and multiple cards. USD and EUR are also accepted at the daily official exchange rate. Obviously full payment comes before shipment.

3 friends of ours also shipped with them (to Dubai and France), all totally hassle free and about 600 USD per bike cheaper than Eagle Exports. This was by far the easiest shipment we have ever done, and we have done quite a few so far. Malaysian side was super easy and very efficient. Note that only the first 36 hrs of storage in KL are free. Then daily rate of approx 0.07 USD per kg for 3 days, after that 0.23USD per kg. Make sure you arrange paperwork for the Malaysian side with Mr Cheong (ISP and insurance): Whatsapp +60 11-1235 9976. He did it for us in a few hours. We didn't have to show these documents when getting the bikes though but not sure whether this was normal or they just forgot about it. You definitely need them on the road and when crossing borders though.

There is the Tune Aeropolis hotel, in KL close to the airport and at 2 mins walk from Cargo Village ( customs and MAScargo warehouse). First get a free entry permit at SCAF office, first floor. A few minutes walk from Cargo village. Then to customs, then warehouse, then final check by customs. We were allowed to get our bikes out of the crate at the warehouse and leave the crate behind.
