How to avoid additional charges when shipping a motorcycle?
Nobody likes unexpected costs. Therefore, it is worth taking care of a few things before booking a courier to avoid them. Here are the most common reasons for additional charges:- incorrect shipment dimensions - remember that the courier company calculates the shipping price based on the shipment dimensions, i.e. how much space it will take up in the vehicle
- improper packing - a poorly secured motorcycle may damage other shipments during transport
- changing the collection point or delivery address after placing an order - a longer route means a higher price
Tips to easily prepare your motorcycle for a safe journey
We know how important motorcycles are to our customers. They are often collector models, frequently of great sentimental and market value. We take great care of them during transport. However, you also have a big influence on securing your motorcycle for shipping. Here are tips to help you:- Clean the motorcycle - before you start packing your machine, remove dirt and grime.
- Wyjmij wszystkie osobiste rzeczy - check that none of your items have been left in the luggage compartment.
- Ensure optimal tyre pressure - this helps stabilise the motorcycle and prevents rim damage.
- Empty the fuel tank - fuel residue can pose a fire hazard.
- Remove all protruding and loose parts (m.in. lusterka i migacze) - zabezpiecz je i zapakuj do oddzielnego kartonu.
- Zabezpiecz wszystkie lakierowane, chromowane i delikatne elementy - use bubble wrap or foam sheets and adhesive tape to wrap them and protect against scratching.
- Ustaw motocykl na palecie - secure it with stretch film and tie-down straps that should be firmly attached to the pallet. Make sure the motorcycle does not move on the pallet and is stably mounted. A special stand with a bracket may also be helpful.
- Take photos - before packing, take detailed photos of the motorcycle, documenting its condition. This is useful in case of any damage during transport.
