Well, its not like I'd be shipping a Huffy. $200 to get my carbon Coppi road bike that fits me perfectly seems like small change.
Sarah, when you're taking something with you, customs is very different. When you ship, if it looks like commercial goods, you've got problems.
I am already abroad and $200-300 is still cheaper than a flight home to get it! (Not to mention I don't have a flight case and would have to buy one of those too.)

Sounds like you want your bike and are willing to pay for it. Ask the Italian authorities about the details; they know better than we do.
If I ever move back to France, I will definitely want my Luna with me. For shorter visits, though, I take my Bike Friday.

Can we say Mondonico anyone?
Just wishing I could trade places with you
Lots to learn, but I'll get there.
