Try Vanguard Freight Systems Ltd, on 0161-499-3835.

These are based at Manchester Airport, and are the main Fright forwarder used by the Company I work for, handling all our overseas imports and exports.Lots of it.

I'm sure you will get some help, whether it's air or sea freight you need.
The fact that you're in Essex makes no odds.

Iain,

Sorry about that.I have checked the number again, and the main switch number is 0161-499-3900.

The other one I gave is an old number I had ,which must have been replaced.Try again.

I can sort this for you. I own a removal company and we also do export shipping.The most important thing is the packing which you can get ripped off for.
Have you got any idea of the weight of the bike? This is all important.If you mail me these details i can get you a good price
weight
Dimensions
Area code and State
For items under 500kg air freight is the best way to go.Insurance is no problem

Iain

I know you don't need one this big but we had a 20' container come back from usa for £1500 (£5000 from other companies).

The container had cosco on the side but i can't remember who we went through i think it was crystal logistics but i will find out and let you know later.

Cosco have a web page
