Allrounder Posted August 13, 2018 Share Hi all I want to send my bike to Windhoek. Just got a quote from downwing international to ship the bike and it is crazy to say the least. I can give some petrol money should that be a requirement, or if you know of a cheaper option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH8MUD Posted August 13, 2018 Share Try time-freight. You can do a free online quotation. All the cross border shipping guys wants a invoice with the item's worth on it, sender must have an export number and recipient must have a import VAT number. Its a whole world of k%k and then they want like 3K to ship it on top of that. I once tired to ship a friends old Thule bike rack back to him after a vacation. I could not get the thing out of the country.They kept sending it back asking for the invoice, no matter how much I told then it is not a sale, it someones own property I'm sending back to them and is old.You could see it was very old en dirty.There was no way.

LuckyLuke Posted August 14, 2018 Share Can't help with a lift but whenever we go over the border to Namibia and take a bike or anything big they can complain about I just write up an written invoice with Vat nr on it with your details dated a few years back. Thats when you go on holiday and have a south african car reg. My family lives there and when they take something over they do the same just make the invoice purchase amount very low as you are going to pay Vat on it.
