Export Information

Shipping, Prices and Packaging

If you have a question which is not answered here or anywhere on our web site please contact us.

Export Shipping Dimensions: An Aqua-Cycle has a shipping weight of 300 lbs. and is 230 cubic feet. Each is shipped partially assembled, meaning that we assemble the drive train (pedal crank to the rear axle) and you attach the wheels, seat and front fork upon delivery.

Export Packaging: Each Aqua-Cycle is shipped in three units.

1) The frame is a separate piece
2) the three wheels are on one pallet as one piece
3) the seat, assembly parts and instructions are in one box.

For container shipments often the wheels and seats are loaded as separate pieces to maximize the use of the space in the container.

Export Shipping Containers:

Up to 20 Aqua-Cycles can be loaded into one 40 foot "hicube" container (when loaded at our plant)
Up to 15 Aqua-Cycles can be loaded into one 40 foot standard container (when loaded at our plant)
Up to 7 Aqua-Cycles can be loaded into one 20 foot standard container (when loaded at our plant).

Export Container Loading: We will load your order into a container at our plant for no additional charge. This helps minimize your costs, allows us to be sure your order is properly packed to protect the contents and maximizes the number of units in the container. Container loads are the most economical method of shipment to overseas destinations.

Air Freight: It is extremely expensive to air freight an Aqua-Cycle because they are so large. The air freight shipping cost is at least $3,000 per Aqua-Cycle. We can ship by air freight if you must receive your order this way.

LTL Shipments: (Less Than container Load). LTL is when products are loaded into a container by a shipping line along with freight for other customers. Shipping Aqua-Cycles by LTL is very expensive due to their size, trucking to the port of export and extra crating required. In most all cases we recommend you allow us to load a container at our plant rather than ship your order as LTL freight.

Point of Origin: Aqua-Cycles are manufactured and shipped from our plant at Brownwood, Texas - USA (Zipcode 76801). They will be loaded into a container at our plant at no additional cost to you. If you want your order shipped to a U.S. port location for loading, then refer to Shipping information (United States destinations).

Container Shipping Charges: These can be either Prepaid or Collect, depending upon what is permitted by the destination port, shipping line and freight forwarder. These charges most often include other fees for documents, special handling, insurance, etc.

Shipping Quotations: We will be glad to get a shipping quote to the port destination nearest you. We must know the quantity of Aqua-Cycles and the destination port. Also provide any other information you believe is important to establish an accurate shipping quote such as a preferred shipping line or freight forwarder.

Here are some previous container shipping costs to help in estimating the cost to your country or port. Costs continually change. When you are ready to place your order we will request a quote covering the date when you would be placing your order.
