Help with shipping
« on: October 30, 2008, 12:04:41 PM »
I am hoping to have a bike shipped from New England area to the Mid-West. I have never done this and don't have a clue on who to contact and how to get it done. The seller of the bike says he will help the transport company get the bike on the truck. Any experience from any transport company out there , what to ask, how expensive is it,here to turn and what to do?
