Hi riders, Im from Chile looking to buy a bike in Canadá but I have the problem

I try to get a estimate from UPS to any city from canada to my city ( OSORNO, Chile)

so for ex:
- A bike whose price its 2000 CAD + shipping 2300 cad = 4300 cad... only 2300 for the shipping?
its impossible !!!! its to expensive, I know the price for shipping its about 600 usd or 400 cad aprox worldwide

I think the problem its the box and the weight

I used to make an estimate:
box= 130x30x75 cm
weight = 20kg

any experiencie ? really I need a bike : (

I got basically the same shipping cost as you when I used the UPS site to calculate the shipping charge. I think some of the issue is that the website is automatically choosing expedited shipping options. You could call the customer helpline to see if there are any other options for getting the bike shipped cheaper. In the U.S. it cost roughly 150-200$ to get a bike shipped.
