Hi All, A buddy of mine needs to ship a bike from the Baltimore, MD area to Spain. Anyone done this and can recommend a shipper and give him an idea of what's involved? What sort of paperwork is he going to have to go through, etc. FWIW, the bike is a BMS, made in Spain around 1958 and is apparently very rare but not very valuable. Thanks in advance! Charlie. |
