[RBW] Bike Flights experience so far...pretty good

2015-08-11 Thread true
I have used them twice the past 4 or 5 weeks and have been very pleased and 
saved money.

Both times they just had me enter all the info online, print a shipping label 
and attach to box,
and then drop off at my nearest FedEx center. 

They scanned the label, gave me a receipt with tracking number and 
it was on the way.

I will be using them again for future bike shipments.
One of the packages was a wheelset.

This gets me to wondering, does it have to be a bike or bike part to ship via 
Bike Flights.

I sold a frame to a gentleman in Tuscon and shipped it via Bikeflights, had
a good experience.  I would use them again.  It was much less expensive
than taking it to FedEx myself.

I would consider using them for non-bike parts if I had something too big
to go via USPS.

[RBW] Bike Flights experience so far...pretty good

Many of you noticed I had 5 bikes up for sale.  I had wanted to sell 2, and 
ended up selling 3.  One of the three was a local sale, which is always 
great.  The other two I was kind of dreading because of shipping costs. 
 But, I had seen a couple people mention BikeFlights.  It's basically a 
website that allows me to schedule shipping a bike.  I can declare a value 
for insurance, specify pick-up or drop-off, specify signature policy on the 
other end.  It was super easy.  Only at the end did I realize that the 
shipper is FedEx.  I dropped off a Bombadil frameset with a few other parts 
in the box.  Insured for $1400 and going FedEx Ground from California to 
New York State, it was $54.  I think that's pretty great considering the 
high price horror stories I'd heard.  

BikeFlights.com  is the site.
