Shipping Services

Any reccomendations or reliable, affordable shipping? Have to send a rc from NH to CA and the best rate I've found is 695 thus far, and no bids on my Uship page yet.

Re: Shipping Services

That is as good as any rate that I found and I was going half that distance.

Re: Shipping Services

I have used several shippers over the course of the last couple of years. My most recent call to a driver I found via uShip warned me of several bikes being stolen even entire trailers of bikes. So please beware! Most recently I found e-z motorcycle transport and have found them to be exceptional. A little pricey but the trailer they use to protect your bike is amazing. Check them out at Motorcycle shippers, motorcycle transporting, motorcycle movers, motorcycle carriers Requesting a quote is very easy too! Tell them A. Lake referred you.

Re: Shipping Services

Got my bike after using haulbikes.com. They took >6 weeks from when payment was accepted to delivery of bike. Very long drawn out schedule and very frustrating for me! Their customer service were always friendly and tried to help as was the driver - they were just not punctual. They mentioned discounting my price given the delay but that is yet to come through so we shall see...
my 2 cents.
