Comments: 

We contacted the company few months ahead but all paperwork and payments were done a few weeks before departure.
We put two Honda CRF300 Rally with removed front wheels, all bags and gear in a self built crate (212x127x128 cm) - total weight of the crate was 500 kg. We dropped the crate of at Munich's airport cargo area 5 days before it arrived at NYC.
Before departing we paid Intime around 3000€. At NYC's cargo area we paid 200$ for the airport fees. Unfortunately the warehouse company in NYC wanted to charge us 500$ per day the crate was stored there. The crate arrived on a Friday and we did not get any notifications that it arrived. We tried to contact the warehouse but no phone contact was picking up the phone. You can't release your bike on a weekend since customs is closed. That is why we went on the following Monday to the cargo area and they wanted to charge us 1500$ just for storage fees which were cancelled after the manager there got involved - we were lucky but keep that in mind!
