    I'm looking to see if anyone has any experience in sending a bike to Australia, things like: Cost, Company used, tips on packaging etc etc.

    I got the following back from AA Economy Freight Worldwide
    Hi,

    Thanks for the enquiry.

    There is two options – seafreight and airfreight. Please find details below:


    Seafreight:
    The price is €380 per cubic metre as far as a Sydney local warehouse from our Dublin warehouse depot.
    Collection from Dublin 4 is included in the above price.
    It takes approximately 6 weeks to reach Sydney.
    We will wrap your goods in our depot before shipping and also palletise your goods (build your goods onto a wooden pallet) if required for extra safe transit.
    The above prices does not include local warehouse customs/handling in Sydney. This is standard.
    We have a weekly designated shipping service by seafreight for Sydney.
    After your shipment has left Dublin, you will receive a shipping declaration on day of shipping and then an express bill of lading a few days later which shows all the details for you to collect your shipment.


    Or, the second option:


    Airfreight:
    The price is €280 for anything up to 25kgs by airfreight – Dublin to Sydney Airport. From 26kgs and over, add €4.95 per extra kg.
    Collection from Dublin 4 is included in the above price.
    We will wrap your goods free of charge in our Dublin warehouse.
    We ship daily by airfreight for Sydney Airport.
    It takes 4/5 days to arrive in Sydney Airport.
    The above prices does not include local customs/handling in Sydney Airport.
    Volumetric rates apply with the airline where applicable.
    On day of departure to Sydney Airport ex Dublin, you will receive tracking details from us.

    Maybe irrelevant, but if you are flying there most airlines will treat it as a single piece of luggage if its boxed. I've brought a MTB home from Australia that way.
