Courier & Delivery Services in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Robin Cooper at JR Williams in Montevideo too very good care of us. robin.cooper@jrwilliams.com.uy . In South Africa contact Rex Freight. They are a small home based business who did all the work for the agent who scalped us with his fee. Here is part of an email I sent to another overlander: The good news for you is that there is a RoRo service from SAmerica to S Africa. The agent in Montevideo is: Robin Cooper robin.cooper@jrwilliams.com.uy And the agent in South Africa is: Rex Freight tel. +27(0) 41 371 1125 mikerex@tiscali.co.za 13 Amatola street Sherwood Port Elizabeth Mary is the contact and her son Warwick will walk you through the customs procedure on the SA side. Rex were the agents our agents paid to do the work and if we had known of them we could have cut out the middle man and saved a stack. Their fee should not be more than $1000.

We shared a container from Montevideo to Ft. Lauderdale/Miami at the beginning of 2014. I'll see if i can dig up the details tomorrow, unless Luis beats me to it.

Have you contacted Javier at Dakar Motors in Buenos Aires? They do a lot of motorcycle shipping. Maybe they can recommend an economical end point?

Been in contact with a few companies to go to Mexico recently however they only do RoRo. You can contact Martin Flores from Kline at operaciones@capri-arg.com.ar or Silvia from WWL to go from Argentina at sfa@robinson.com.ar. If you don't come right, let me know, I have a few other email addresses. Not sure if they take bikes tho.

I haven't shipped the route you're looking for but there might be some information, contacts and such that might help: http://www.thebluetruck-e.blogspot.ch/p/tss-shipping-your-vehicle.html

http://wikioverland.org/Pan_American_Highway#Crossing_The_Darien_Gap gives a list of recent blog posts from people who have done it recently. It gives prices, etc.

You can definitely do the Colombia part on your own as mentioned above, I'm still on the fence about the process in Panama. Having used Tea's services, I was pretty pissed when they left us hanging at the port with no ride and no possible way of getting across the dodgy part of Colon to the bus terminal. After we gave Luis the money, he split on his motorcycle and left us hanging. The security guards at the port wouldn't let us leave because they said it was too dangerous. I called Amy and Boris (one of Tea's people) several times and they were of no help. To be fair the entire port was a mess because Colon was flooding and Amy did make some sense out of the chaos. Could we have done it on our own? Maybe, but it's impossible to know since they held our hands MOST of the way in Panama. In Colombia we did it all ourselves and it was no problems. The people at the port are very helpful and many of them speak english.

I shipped from Veracruz Mexico to Cartagena, RoRo, with agents on both end. All went smooth and the agnets went above and beyond to assist me. More information here: http://thebluetruck-e.blogspot.com.ar/p/tss-shipping-your-vehicle.html

Write to Tea, she arranges everything and her daughter takes you to all the appropriate offices. Here's her email teakalmbach@hotmail.com

we have all the stuff on our page, shipped without agent, and we have 2 dogs. All info in english as well. www.pawsontour.com under DOWNLOADS.

ivssuk.com (URL correct? It's the shipping agent of overland sphere)...

You can ask to Olivier Chetanneau who works at Wave Logistics. He helps us a lot to send our van from France (Fos sur Mer) to Uruguay (Montevideo) in a container. He gives you the prices all included. olivier@wave-logistics.com He is a french guy, working in Uruguay and speaks french, english and spanish.

You could try https://www.seabridge-tours.de/ For your car, Hamburg-Montevideo (Roro) approx 2000€

I contacted many agents in Brazil and the best quote I got was from this lead of Life Remotely. Thanks Jessica Mans, Kobus Mans and Jerred!! B&M Log - Ramiro Colsani (ramiro@bmlog.com.br) 55 47 2103 5518 - Mob 55 47 8823 5884. Shipping from Santa Catarina is normally cheaper than Santos-SP. Good Luck!

Try with www.progressive.com. They provide insurances for "normal" cars. You will need an address in the US to log in. If you do not have a friend or family in the US : some people just take an address from the phone book ... I do not know how this works in case of an accident though.

Ok despite what US / Canadian citizens may post, as a European citizen with a European vehicle it is currently an impossibility to insure a Vehicle that is over 19 years of age. Progressive won't be able to help you unfortunately. This thread makes for interesting reading, take a look at my post there https://www.facebook.com/groups/panamtravelers/permalink/1398961126809382/ We just got back from 7 months on the road and were in the same situation as you. We had shipped our vehicle from Europe to Halifax and our insurers let us down.

Have you tried this: http://www.alessie.com/

Try to ask Martin at ivssuk.com I could imagine that from Manta in Ecuador might work better for you.

when I was in Cartagena (Colombia), Luis Ernesto La Rota from http://www.enlacecaribe.com/ was the man to contact. He is organizing almost all overland vehicle shipments from Colombia to Panama and manged the shipment of my van to Italy without any problems. Perhaps it's worth contacting him (gerencia@enlacecaribe.com)

Yes we certainly are! We're taking a GQ Patrol so not only dealing with importation issues, but also with a vehicle that doesn't exist in The Americas! We're at www.kevandemgoglobal.com and on FB at www.facebook.com/kevandemgoglobal if you want to check us out :)

As far as I know in BA you NEED to take an agent to release your vehicle. Have you tried searching this group for "agent Buenos Aires" (top right corner) or wikitravel.org? I seem to recall there have been several recommendations in the past. [following fellow ozzies]

In Colombia: Luis Ernesto La Rota R., ENLACE CARIBE SAS Edificio Laguna 46 Centro de Negocios El Cabrero, Avenida del Lago Marbella Carrera 3 No. 46-51 Oficina 1201 Tel +57 (5) 644 6145 – 6446022 In Veracruz: Beristain & Asociados S.C. Emparan No.418 Centro Veracruz vmlau@beristain.com.mx Tel +52 229 1505830 We shipped with Höegh Autoliners. Worked well.

We are nonurbia.com. We will be in Panama City tomorrow. We are missing the last boast with one day :/. We'll probably go to their office next day and try to get some answers. I'll post back with our location tomorrow.

http://songoftheroad.com/2014/08/darien-gap-tale-two-ports/ If you have to ship we made a very detailed post on how to do it recently.

Marco Brouwers the roro option is available. We don't prefer that for security reasons. Where are you now?

Erdem Yucel we should be able to be there either today or latest tomorrow. Keep you posted.

Thanks Erica Victorson for posting the wonderful guide. We are in contact with Tea now, evaluating her options. We also have another shipping agent friend's recommendation. If anyone is interested, please comment. Dan Grec we and Overland Sphere have talked to the ferry today. The impression we have is that although they don't want to kill any hopes, it's very likely that the service won't resume until January 2015. Keep in mind that there are many holidays in Panama until than. If their issue involves any governmental clearance, the process will be slowed down. Yes, the ferry may resume but we can also end up waiting a month constantly and repeatedly delaying hopes. Personally, we have to have a deadline and that's this Tuesday (Monday is a holiday.) If we don't hear a date from FerryXpress on Tuesday morning, we will proceed with shipping reservations.

If you do need an agent maybe try; Rachida Nassif | Customer Service Manager Tel: 598- 2916 80 75 | Mob: 598-97 09 69 27 Email: rachida@wave-logistics.com | Skype: Rachida.wave Of course many use KMA.

This is the agent I used in Cartagena he is a good guy and only $150 speaks good english too! Message on what's app. +57 310 5147544

Try Luis at Enlace Caribe. info@enlacecaribe.com Luis helped us back in 2014 and hope to use him again this year.
