At Regent Vespa, we understand that shipping a scooter, especially a classic Vespa or Lambretta, requires careful attention to detail and the utmost care to ensure its safe arrival. To that end, we have designed custom wooden cases that are meticulously crafted to provide a perfect fit for each scooter, offering the highest level of protection during transit. The cases are rigorously tested to withstand impacts, ensuring that your scooter remains secure and undamaged throughout its journey.

Custom Designed Wooden Cases

Each of our shipping cases is tailor-made to the specific dimensions of the scooter it will contain. Constructed from high-quality, durable 1/2-inch plywood, these cases are reinforced with strong wooden material to ensure structural integrity. The base of each case is crafted from particularly resilient material designed to maintain the stability of the scooter, preventing any unnecessary movement during transit. The bottom portion of the case is especially reinforced to secure critical parts, such as the front wheel and kickstand, with custom clamps that are uniquely designed for each scooter model. These clamps ensure that the scooter remains in a fixed position, preventing any movement that could lead to damage during the shipping process.

We recognize that the most vulnerable parts of a scooter-such as chrome and delicate components-require additional care. To protect these areas, we wrap and pad them carefully with high-quality materials designed to prevent scratches, dents, or other forms of abrasion. For added protection, all chrome parts are coated with a special protective paste that preserves their shine and prevents them from suffering damage from friction or environmental factors during shipping.

Protection for Spare Parts and Accessories

All spare parts and accessories accompanying the scooter are carefully wrapped and padded separately before being securely placed inside the overall protective casing. This process ensures that these smaller components do not shift during transit, avoiding any risk of them scratching or damaging the main body of the scooter. The entire shipping case is padded with UV-resistant and water-repelling plastic, which provides an additional layer of protection against dust, dirt, and moisture during its journey. This careful attention to detail ensures that the scooter and its components remain in pristine condition from our workshop to your doorstep.

Shipping Standards and Safety Protocols

We adhere to the highest international shipping standards, and all shipments are thoroughly inspected multiple times throughout the packing process. Additionally, each case is fumigated and treated to comply with international pest control standards, ensuring that your scooter and its accessories arrive without any risk of contamination.

Our shipping cases have the following standard dimensions to accommodate the scooters:

• Width: 29" (75 cm)

• Length: 78" (198 cm)

• Height: 49" (125 cm)

• Weight: Approximately 450 lbs (200 kg+), depending on the scooter and accessories included

Reliable Shipping Service

At Regent Vespa, we are committed to providing the most secure, reliable, and cost-effective shipping options available. We take great care in selecting reputable shipping services that offer both affordability and security, ensuring that your scooter arrives in the same condition it was in when it left our workshop. For your peace of mind, we insure all shipments against loss, fire damage, and explosion during transit on cargo vessels. (Please note that additional charges apply for this insurance coverage.)

Should you have any specific shipping requirements or if you have received a damaged scooter, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to assist you in filing a claim with the insurance company, although it is important to note that while we offer support throughout the claims process, we cannot be held liable for damages incurred during shipment.

Pickup and Customs Process

Once your scooter is on its way, you will be contacted by a trusted forwarding company to facilitate the pickup and delivery of your scooter through customs. As customs procedures and import regulations vary depending on your location, we provide a dedicated section on our website to help you navigate this process. The pickup procedure is simple and efficient, and our team is always available to offer assistance should any issues arise.

With years of experience handling scooter shipments, we are highly skilled in managing interactions with forwarding companies, customs officers, and warehouses. After clearing customs, you will be directed to the nearest warehouse where you can pick up your scooter. In most cases, a small pickup truck is sufficient to transport the scooter, and many warehouses will load your truck free of charge. To ensure the safe transport of your scooter, we strongly recommend securing the wooden crate with durable straps before heading home to prevent any shifting or potential damage during the drive.

Door-to-Door Delivery

For added convenience, we also offer Door-to-Door Delivery. If you prefer not to pick up your scooter yourself or if you are unable to do so, we will arrange for the scooter to be delivered directly to your address. This service includes all charges and ensures that your scooter arrives safely and securely at your location, without the need for you to worry about the logistics.
