I have shipped vehicles before - just contact any shipping company. I used Conroy Removals - but I get the feeling you may be meaning flying it over - probably best to contact the airline and make enquiries that way. Good luck

I can look after it Brad.

PM me your phone number and I'll give you a bell on Monday to discuss.

You want it airfreighted or Seafreight? Got the Carnet all sorted ?(That bit takes the most time)

We used to pack them up and put them in a suitcase (for real)

Stay away from Famous Pacific Shipping

(AKA Famous Logistics

)

The NZ side was great. The Aus side are, are, are pathetic

(best compromise for a family website

). “….yes I’m sure there were 3 bikes in the container when it left…”. “…yes I’m sure the stuff was packed, not thrown in…..”. “..No, nearly everything was in undamaged condition when PACKED in…”

Probably more applicable if you are moving, rather than travelling for racing. But still, better warned than sorry.
