Bike arrives in New Zealand

After two months at sea or at least in a container somewhere around the world, the BM has finally arrived in Auckland. This is when the argument between flying a Nike and shipping comes in to play. Port charges and handling fees! These can make or break the cost saving of shipping and this instance , it's not working out much cheaper at all. Mainly due to a poor shipping agent, however I yet to find a good one. So there is a small battle being played out for a refund of port fees (I must stress this is from the UK side, not NZ). There is one thing that pisses my off to a huge degree, not returning calls or emails. So I was greeted with a not to small amount of shock when I turned up in person at their office. I think they hadn't worked out I live less than half a mile from them.

All of a sudden we have emails............


But most importantly, the bike is there, safe and ready to be ridden. I simply can't wait to re-establish the relationship 😉
