I think you mean Frank, not John.

These days on most
airlines you are allowed one free carry-on. Some airlines allow
on free checked luggage and others don't. But a second piece of
checked baggage is almost always "extra" and the price can be as
much as a cut rate ticket. It costs more to ship a bicycle to
Australia than it costs to fly there yourself.

Yep:

I priced what it cost to ship a mountain bike from Smog Angeles to
Sidney Australia. 55 lbs for $1,842.95 one-way by FedEx Freight and
not including the box, packing service or customs. I tried various
size bicycles and found the price to be the same. There were no
folding bicycles listed, which seems a bit odd.

Ooops. My Forte Agent database indexer somehow got corrupted. I
didn't notice that I was replying to a year old message. Sorry(tm).

Well just as an addition I had an Eddy Merckx Strada OS frameset that I was selling on Ebay for $750. The shipping to Australia was cheapest by air and the cost was almost $900. So much for THAT sale.
