Continuing the thought the bike was delivered 2 months after the order from New York to California.
seriously?

Just had a very good experience with a gentleman named Paul Finley. He's a nice guy who transports motorcycles the right way. Told me he has places in Northern California and Washington D.C. Very reasonable prices too, as he was recommended by Alex the seller of the bike (it was not a Harley). Alex's business is LA Tech which is a BMW dealer outside St. Louis. Anyway, Paul Finley's number is 818-395-1320. It was mentioned he carries 100k in cargo insurance and from what I saw he is a good person to deal with when shipping your bike. Heard his wife on the phone before they arrived, but she stayed in the vehicle and I did not see her. Here are some pics of the experience.

Shipper arrived. Ramp is lowered.

Bike was blanket wrapped. One box was taken off to fit.

Truck and trailer

Inspecting the bike

Shipper leaves.

Used Haul Bikes to ship from Phoenix to Chicago recently and had a great experience. '18 Electra Glide arrived just a couple weeks after pick-up with the same mileage as it left the seller's place and in perfect condition. Communication was good, but mostly driven by my occasional request for status. Only downside would be if you're area can't accommodate a really big truck, as they had a huge bi-level rig. Price was very fair, too, at just under 600 bucks.

From pickup to delivery it took approximately 4 days from Missouri to Pennsylvania. It was fast. Haven't seen a price mentioned here that was even close to his and I called Keyboard, Haul Bikes and the rest. They also were going to take weeks to deliver. Just an option to help.

Hey buddy, i shipped my bike using two companies bikeflight and Citizenshipper.

They are best in bike shipping.

Generally, whenever me or my friend ship our bike using bikeflight when we want to ship it international and i think they are one of the best international bike shipping company but when we need to ship inside states we go for Citizenshipper as their service is quiet good in reasonable pricing as their is bidding system on your shipment there.

So if you need to ship your motorcycle inside states then you can look once at citizenshipper also.
https://citizenshipper.com/motorcycle-transportation

If you get best pricing over there then you can consider them as they are trusted shipper.

Here is a tip for you guys

Always check on your tracking number and give it to the person you are shipping to so they will know when it is coming and the delivery info. That way you can see when they got it and if you have a signature required (there are 3 different signature choices.) who signed for it.

{NOTE: you can have an Adult Signature required where they will have to be over 21 and have to show their drivers license or ID to receive the pkg. In-Direct Signature which can be anyone in the household or business, or Direct Signature which has to be the person who's name is on the label.}
