And how does the cost stack up with train transport. Finally, if the crate does arrive upside down, some of us will want to know about that too -- with pix!

Ride safe!
I will finish in another place so I doubt I will use the original crate! When we called to Beijingzhan to check for the price those idiots said: they count the number of cc's as kilograms. So that would be 600 kg in our case, which would cost me RMB 2600 for BJ - Harbin.
