Just a note to say thanks for a great experience in having bike shipped to Barcelona in 2024. Dropped bike off early at depot in Sydney – no issues, pickup in Barcelona worked out well. All customs, quarantine completed, insurance contacts all provided. 3 months riding in Europe – what a bucket list items to complete. Returned bike back early in Felixstowe in England for Return Shipping home, bike/car wash people knew immediately what to do for a clean bike to be returned for Australian Customs. A cheaper option if wanting to ride in Europe for extended periods of time (2 weeks bike hire from Munich in 2023 = same cost to ship my bike, but cheaper as was riding for 3 months and better being on your own bike). No issues in Europe replacing tyres and even had the bike serviced at BMW Munich! Looking forward now to 2025 in Europe again shipping with Get Routed!

Dear Dave and Maggie,
I picked the bike up today from Sydney.
This is just a short note to say THANKYOU to you both and Andrew for giving Janice and me a hassle-free holiday of a lifetime. It was so good; we’ll do it again in the not too distant future. Maybe NZ.
Looking forward to seeing you at a show sometime soon.

Dave, Picked up my bike today from WSI and this prompted me to write you a short note thanking you for the professionalism in freighting my bike to NZ and return. The bike was returned in excellent condition and the trip was absolutely bloody fabulous. Without your service, I would never have experienced the sheer pleasure of riding in “bikers paradise” for almost 5 weeks. I wish you all the success in the future, especially with the Isle of Man consignment this year. Dave, once again thank you and I will certainly be singing your praises. Regards,

Dave, just confirming with you that Roger Keane & myself picked our bikes up from Botany today, Wed 14th,at 10am. We thank you for your service and attention to detail, as it made our NZ visit hassle free. I guess you had your problems arranging the new depot in Botany, but we could not speak more highly of the staff, ease of getting there, and facilities, compared with the Homebush bay depot. All the best for the future and thanks again for a job well done.

It was great to have the R1150RT shipped to & from NZ unmarked with your assistance greatly appreciated. The NZ tour was fantastic, the roads better than any world wide (this couple have seen more than most) – meals 100% – locals most helpful.
