Evening all,

Soon I will be the proud owner of Johnnymac's Cabin 21SP...deposit paid, shipping being sorted, final payment this week...one thing I'm struggling with though is finding a decent, reasonably priced crating service and shipping agent.

Does anyone have any recommended services for crating/international shipping?

I was going to use my company's shipping agent but they won't ship personal items on our account due to some restrictions on our trade license.

I've so far had two quotes; one at 650 quid sea freight, door to door service including crating carried out at sellers home. One at 450 quid sea freight, no collection (bike would need to be delivered to Felixstowe depot for crating there). 20 days from UK to Dubai.

I have a few air freight quotes coming in the next few hours and it only takes 3 days to get here so obviously that's much better for geting the bike here sooner, but wondering how much cost difference will be?

Would appreciate feedback or info from anyone with past experiences with shipping companies.

Cheers
