Subject: RE: Travelling with bike...Case or cardboard box? Hola Amigo,
You're are in a rather unique circumstance. As I recall shipping from SA is big $$ - and won't you have added difficulties when they try to charge customs fees & duties (I know they shouldn't, but don't they always start by assuming you owe 'til you prove different? ).
You should be able to find out in advance. Call an air shipper with the weight and dimensions to get prices. Do the same with the airlines.
Box vs case? For multiple trips, you'll get the value from a case. Before you buy a case, make sure your bike and gear will fit. You should be able to put your helmet, shoes, etc in a case. That stuff wouldn't fit in the box.
Vaya bien! |
