What happened to bike flights?

[Saving Tempest]

If it helps any, I got Tempest via UPS and my USPS people are also outstanding...I suspect that you have guerrilla gorillas along your routes.

I am really enjoying shipbikes.com, 5 dollars and they pick it up from my garage.

200 dollars additional insurance was 2 dollars.

Each bike has arrived a day earlier than the original delivery estimate.

Nothing but good so far.

I see conflicting info on the shipbikes.com website. In one place it says max ground shipping 60lbs box included. A different place on the homepage says 75lbs? Anyone shipped over 60lbs and have a problem? I also didn't see a place to create an account and am awaiting a response. V/r Shawn

"Maximum weight allowed for ground shipping (including the box) is 60 pounds "

Yep, it does show that, interesting. The heaviest I have sent so far was 57 pounds, so I don't know.

Just received a message that if you want to set up an account you must contact them. Once your shipping total exceeds $500 for the year you get 5% off the following year. V/r Shawn

Used to ship my bike and related gear to my destination in my hard shell bike case via bike flights. Typical weight was 100lbs. Case alone weighs nearly 30 pounds. Guess it’s back to airline freight prices...
