Shipping bikes within US
« on: July 08, 2009, 07:14:35 am »
Does anyone have a reliable shipper they can recommend for moving a bike internally in the US.  I want to get it from Iowa to Long Beach. Have been quoted US$750 - seems steep.  Any thing to watch out for to avoid rip offs? cheers

Thanks Jim
I did as you suggested and some guys on Marks suggested Patriot Express.  Contacted Jason via their website and was quoted US$350 Iowa to West Coast.  Uses covered trailer and runs across regularly.  Does a few deliveries for DDR into Seattle also as it turns out.  US$350 is over half what some other mobs quoted me so it pays to shop around and ask! Thanks for the steer :) :).

I have used Kiwi Karriers to transport from Montana to California and found them reliable and well priced. They had no problem dealing with Aussies but I made the effort to phone them and chat.

We're currently using Patriot Express to ship two GRM trials bikes from Pennsylvania to Long Beach CA and have found them to be efficient, friendly and very reasonably priced.  [email protected] or call Jason on... 319-217-2257  or  319-367-2229
