Motorcycle Shiiping Questions

I'd suggest English Movers. Their home base is out of Roanoke, VA and they work through one of those shippers auction sites. I can't remember which one right now. They brought my old GT here from California.
 
I shipped my bike from Seattle to England with shipmybike.com... save yourself the hassle. They dorked up my 1098, first tried to weasel out of it, then tried to pay me half and at almost a year later i have a 'check in the mail'...

However, I shipped my old bike twice with the military and had zero problems... one from alaska to idaho and then from idaho to england. It all depends on how the packers wrap up the bike. I f you do decide to move the bike through TMO take a Sh*t ton of pics so you can have zero hassle claiming, if need be.

G'luck Mate!
 
USA/Canada? Noone?

I'm trying to find shippers right now and I'm having a real problem. Most people only deliver to Toronto/Montreal and you have to go there and clear it through customs yourself after it's been dropped off.

I just want door to door delivery, not the whole import process. I'm legal in both countries so it won't be a problem for the shipper.
 
HIcks, go to the Uship web site and ask for a bid.
That is were I found English Movers and you could access them directly there for a quote.

For USA/Canada, I worked for Roadway and they and Reimer Express are the same company. I would call Reimer Express and ask for a quote. They really did it right.

For Hawaii, I believe there is only 1 steamship line that runs and everyone else sells space via forwarder agreements. Air Cargo is another alternative although very much more expensive.

Main thing is to crate it good. Bulletproof. An ouce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as the saying goes. Claims for damage are a total pain in the ass in the best case scenario. A horrible, head shaking "this cant be really happening" nightmare in the worst case.
