Type in your dimensions & weight.
If you are careful in your packing, and cut your box to the best possible fit, you should be able to get a whole bike shipped for under, say, $120. As noted above, I got my frame in about 24 hours.
The problem with sea freight is the amount of time your box is left sitting around and, thus, vulnerable to getting squashed, mangled, dropped or otherwise lost or destroyed. All to save 50 bucks or so.
The British call that "penny-wise and pound-foolish".
YMMV.
This is an interesting site but I've entered the dimensions of a bike box and it says that I have to contact them as they do not ship such large items. Is this how it worked for you? I am awaiting an email now but I just wanted to see how others fared...Thanks.
