We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
Pack it yourself and definately go Fedex. UPS is my #2 pick. USPS is 3x the cost of Fedex in my experience. I wouldn't trust DHL with a nice bike, they seem to like destroying boxes.
I packed my V10 frame myself, and took it to the place where all the UPS trucks come in and out of...I guess it was the distribution center, I dunno, but it was only 15 bucks to ship it from CA to CO insured for 1600 bucks. Whatever you do...INSURE it...do NOT be cheap and NOT insure it...you don't wanna be one of those tools that bitches about UPS thrashing your bike and not paying for it because you didn't insure it...
That has also been my experience. Drove cross country not realizing that I had a friends front road wheel with me. I was with my brother. He was staying, I was flying back. We went to a UPS store and they said $30 shipping, plus packing costs. I've shipped bikes for less. So it came on the plane.
