under 2010 USA Bike Shipping - it's a pdf - download it and print it out.
IN THE BEGINNING - our first USA shipment in 2008
Due to excessively increased costs in San Francisco we have made the decision to ship the
bikes in and out of Portland, Oregon.
IN HINDSIGHT
It was a damned good decision to ship into Portland and all our subsequent clients have congratulated us on using
Portland, Oregon. Accommodation is cheaper and more available and there's no sales tax in Oregon which is a saving.
The people are great to deal with at the depot we use to unload and reload the bikes and everyone we've met are very
friendly and most hospitable - Aussies at home could learn a thing or two.
