Hi all,
I'm going on a touring trip in two weeks and I plan to ship my bike separately. The airline I'm flying with charges like $250 to carry a boxed bicycle. That is not something I'm willing to spend. I want to ship my bike from Washington, DC to Vancouver, Canada. I've heard that people have spent $50-$75 using a shipping company. Does anyone have any recommendations/personal experience/horror stories from a specific shipping company? Also, has anyone shipped to a post office or something of the sort? I don't want to burden the people I'm staying with of having to store two bikes temporarily. Any ideas?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

interesting. never though about just having a bike shipped instead of putting it on a plane. i dont have any experience doing this but ive heard stories of inpropper packaging and having the fork just getting smashed so be careful
