What is the best and cheapest way to ship a complete Bike from the USA. any idea on cost.
Has anybody had bad experiences?
Thanks
:)

The ripper i just bought from usa cost $145 (USPS) + $6 ins.
It needs to be stripped down (wheels,bars,seat off etc).Then you squash it all in a box!!!
However,if the seller wont do that for you,then you'll have to get the carrier to do it for you and i think that bumped the price up to about £190($300ish).I was quoted that price by fed ex...i think ???.

Yep, bought a chrome TA off ebay in America. Was posted using normal US Postal Service. I never got it. Was gutted. There was no insurance either. Took me 6 months to claim 75% of my money back through ebay claims.

That SUCKS :( I was lucky.The bike was here in just over a week.Evil customs took the insured value as the value of the bike though and charged me a lovely £80 import duty >:( Oh trying to claim that back.

bought a turbo lite rom the us, think it was about 60 dollars or so to ship, arrived with handlebars off etc..., quite impressed, i would make a right cock of trying to post a bike
