Default Shipping a bike

Good afternoon all,
New member and 1st post. Any help greatly appreciated.
Looking to buy a used bike down in Tennesee. Wont be able to ride it back uop here to CT and seller cant or wont hold on to bike till spring.
Has anyone used a shipper to get a blike moved? If so are there any recommendations you could give me if I pull the trigger on this. Any tips to
make this venture easier. Thank you.

Do you have any friends trailering to Daytona in two weeks? Maybe someone would go a little to the West for you and pick it up.

I had my Limited shipped by Keyboard last year, no problems. They make it a very easy process.

Or offer some cash and a few dozen drinks to our patrons on the site and someone might want to ride your new bike to you

I've used Federal twice. Once from Ohio to Washington and once from California to Washington. They did a great job for me and you can do an online quote.

Used them to ship cross continent, from south Florida to northern Alberta.

They have GPS tracking and were a few days early and very reasonable.

I highly recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat
