We often get asked with whom we shipped our bikes from Switzerland / Europe to New Zealand and especially how we sent them back from New Zealand to Switzerland or some other country in Europe. We sent all the bike equipment including helmets, tools and spare material to NZ, resulting in 2 bike boxes with a weight of 30kg each. For the way back we removed the used tires, packed the clothing in our bags and only shipped the bikes, resulting in bike boxes around 17kg heavy which cost us around 370NZD each.
