Motorcycle Shipping
Good day. Ran a search but didn't see anything although I know it's been asked somewhere. I'm looking to ship my FLHX from Georgia to Colorado. However, I'm reading lots of negative reviews from some of the bigger name shippers. Has anyone done much shipping and can ya'll recommend anyone? Many thanks.

I had my bike shipped from Florida to Texas. Everything went as I expected except two things. One, they forgot to put the bike in transport mode, so the battery was dead when it arrived. Two, the company who transported my bike had it strapped down with the jiffy stand deployed. After the bike was off-loaded and parked on the jiffy stand, the bike leaned about 10-15 degrees more than before. The jiffy stand bracket was bent. If I ever have a bike shipped again, I will be sure to talk to the transport company beforehand to inquire as to how they handle the bikes they ship.
Good luck.

I shipped my last street bike from MA to long beach,CA coast to coast. no issuse . buyer paid a winter special price of $499. used https://haulbikes.com/. they specialize in motorcycles only!! the trailer was all set up with echannel for strapping. driver was super professional and so where the people I communicated with on the phone. The buyer did most off the work but again I had no bad feeling about handing this guy my bike. It was even loaded and unlaoded 3 or 4 times while they drove and collected bike. wrote down every speck of dust on the inspection form...check these guys out. took 2 weeks about total to get there

I used these guys to ship cross continent from Miami to northern (central) Alberta, Canada.
They were fantastic communicators and have GPS tracking, and got it to me a day early.
I would use them again without hesitation.

Carefull with U-ship, do a little research on them. They have as many horror stories as they do success stories.
Read a few horror stories that some of their drivers weren't properly insured, and the customer was left holding the bag.
They are a rag tag renegade company, Google "U-Ship sucks" and read away..
I wouldn't use them to ship a bicycle
