Default Warning re Shipping

Hey All
Just bought an 01 Road Glide in Toronto Canada
Had the bike booked with TFX to ship to Vancouver BC
They dropped the ball huge at the last hour and fell through on their promises
Costing me time and money
Be warned don't use them their customer service was brutal

If anyone knows of a company we can trust to move our precious cargo please send me the link

Thanks All just a heads up don't want it to happen to you!!!

Default move

Surprised to hear that about TFX. Their specialty is excotic and very expensive atomombiles and do the moves for NHL, NBA and MLB players. Think they would know the value of customer service.

Try Mackie (Moving and Storage) in Oshawa.They also own the HD dealership there.

I used Haul Bikes USA and the bike made it, but way late 42 days vs 21 -28 day quote (FL to MA). Truck driver (tractor owner) said the management sucks and way over books (too many bikes) with making weak promises of on time delivery = FWIW
