Changed my shipping agent at the last minute.
Unexpected email received from Tim Keogh of Cassie Freight International ( tim@cassie.com )providing me with a quote to ship my bike. We had exchanged a couple of emails and then nothing. In the interim I decided to go with Josh (as per previous post) even though he wasn't the cheapest but at least he was very professional and answered my questions promptly.
The quote from Tim looked like it was going to save me a few dollars so I rang him. Tim was forthright and confirmed his quote. Josh's freight fee was $305 per cubic metre. Tim's fee is $125 representing a saving to me. My crate is 3.6 cbm in size.
I cancelled my booking with Josh. Josh was polite about the whole matter and wished me well.
Tim wasted no time booking me onto the Cap Spencer and arranged for me to deliver the bike to Navia Logistics at Keilor Park on the outskirts of Melbourne. The paperwork was emailed and yesterday morning I made the trip to Melbourne dragging the trailer and crated bike. All freight has to be finalised for the ship by the end of this week.

Bike delivered
The young store man at Navia was very friendly and quizzed me about my trip. The process was painless. He weighed and measured the crate before loading it into a shipping container.
The Cap Spencer leaves the Port of Melbourne on the 21st November and arrives Long Beach, California 12th December, 08.

Well, that's nice to hear, heh. Never think you've run out of options. Choose what's good for the situation, which is basically what would compensate for the proper and speedy handling and shipping of the bike across areas.
