If my pre-order falls through I'll be buying remotely and either flying out to ride back or have it delivered. I think this has been discussed in a previous thread a while ago, but I'm mostly concerned with more recent experiences anyway. Anyone ship a bike? How long did it take? How much did you pay? Did it arrive safely? Would you use them again?

I had a bike shipped once in Oct-Nov 2016 from Asheville TN to Houston TX. Contract was to deliver the bike in 2 weeks. In my case the bike was picked up in TN then went to the hub up north in PA before coming down to Texas. Cost was $485 and it arrived in perfect condition. Yes I would use
Haulbikes.com again.

Haulbikes is HQ'd here in MKE. They were my first thought and I'm calling them tomorrow to get a quote. With everything going on since then what I'd be more curious to know is delivery time.

Last year and this year I have seen a lot of complaints of delays due to the driver shortage.
