Subject: RE: Need Bike Shipping advice! I've loaded my bike box with everything under the sun and it was MAX 55 lbs. I have traveled numerous times on planes with my bike box and it's even been put on the conveyer belt and came to a slamming thud as it slid down. My bike was fine! Sending it UPS/DHL/etc is less hassle, and you can get insurance on it. Being on the plane, I believe they are only liable for like $5/lb. You do the math. You're problem come in with TSA. Make sure you stand there and watch them take it through security. If they have to open it, watch them and make sure they repack it properly. THEN you lock it! I personally lock it and then if they ask me to unlock it, I do. $100 round trip is pretty good actually. That's the cheapest I've seen. |
