Bikeflights Cost Increase?

[SirMike1983]

they have to raise the rates to cover all the damage claims due to fedex mishandling.

They tend to cover more claims than Fed Ex, so that may be part of it. I've had a couple that I received damaged where Fed Ex blamed the packer, even though the packing job was not bad at all. Bike Flights covered both.

I'm shipping PA to CA and it's costing about $81 bucks... FedEx was $200 something though.

Nope... Through Fedex website. Must be an over sized box I got. Like 1 inch too big and the price inflates like crazy except through bikeflights. I usually found that fedex and BF were close in price if the box was under whatever the magic size it needs to be. Bikeflights came in handy for this boxes that are just an inch too big to make the magic size cutoff

Seems like they have always been 80 -100 for me to ship from the midwest to each end, a little cheaper, north and south.

Right, I've noticed that too it's like size and weight don't matter really. It's crazy.
