Re: Best Way to Ship A bike Cross Country ?

Be aware that they will measure the box usually at the widest part of the box. I've had a box that was the correct dimensions but because the box was used it "pushed" out a little (not a results of the bike pushing the box out) and I was dinged. It cost me upwards of $100.00, to ship to California. If it had not been for that, it would have come in around the prices people are saying on the list.

I'm doing a cycling trip on the east coast in August and I was wondering what is the best (and least expensive) way to ship a bike across the country, I have plently of time so I plan to send it to a friends house and of course I'll be sending it back to Portland after the trip.

Thanks
