Any shops ever ship an Ebike?

Jumping through hoops here trying to figure out how to ship an ebike without being a Certified Hazmat Shipper. I know bikeflights wont take them, but Fedex seems like I can ship it if the battery is "properly packaged" within the bike and I drop it off prepaid.

To answer my own question it seems like Shipbikes.com will take an ebike even though Bikeflights.com won't. Might be a Fedex vs UPS thing.

fedex is must have just gotten laid-out by the faa - they now have it in the ebay policy that if they find something
not correctly marked, it is a $350(?) fine - which ebay will levy against your cc on file.

probably people shipping laptops without li-ion labels.

I'm not exactly sure what becoming a certified haz mat shipper entails (that was someone else's domain).

Shipping with the battery installed simplifies things vs. shipping a battery on its own, FWIW. As well, ground is far easier in terms of compliance than air, in case you have an option on that front.
