They're a shipping aggregator so they automatically calculate the best available rate across multiple carriers. I've used them countless times.
They only use UPS now. But definitely the way to gohttps://www.bikeflights.com/

www.Shipbikes.com is the new one. Sent a bike from NC to WA and it was like $60?
Has anyone shipped a bike in separate boxes? In theory you could do two smaller boxes vs. one big box. Curious if that works out better from a cost perspective.
$5 gets you a crave case at taco bell, just sayingshipbikes was a little cheaper...within $5.00.
Yes, I used to have to do this with some fat bikes/DH bikes. As for cost I never compared, just passed it onto the buyer.Has anyone shipped a bike in separate boxes? In theory you could do two smaller boxes vs. one big box. Curious if that works out better from a cost perspective.
It depends if you can get a cardboard box easily when you want one. Cardboard boxes tend to get beat up in shipping over time, the other issues is there are times of the year that shops don't build many bikes or it rains a ton and some shops keep the cardboard outside. That being said I have had a legit bike case and some of them are primo.Interesting thread. So this is basically a cardboard box setup? If one had the idea of routinely shipping bikes between say NJ to FL, would it make sense to buy a hard shell case?
Every time I ever needed a cardboard box to ship, the local shop had one they were happy to part with. I guess the “savings” may be with packing/unpacking each time, not needing bubble and tape all the time, that kind of thing.Interesting thread. So this is basically a cardboard box setup?

Aren’t you retired? Just have two of the same bikes in each location, it’s not THAT expensive.
