shipping a wing
I recently bought a bike in Buffalo, NY and then had it shipped to Prince Edward Island, Canada. It was a horror stoory. First, I did not realize that when I booked the shipment I was only dealing with a broker, not the actual trucking company who would be doing the shipment. They told me it would take two weeks maximum but after they turned it over to the trucking company they assigned a maximum delivery date of one month. In spite of numerous phone calls it kept being removed from the shipping manifest and it wound up arriving one day before the end of the 30 days. Also, the shipping contract basically gives you very little rights but covers the shipping company for almost everything. If you want more than $5K insurance you have to pay extra for it. Having said all that, it did arrive without a scratch. Total cost from Buffalo to PEI was about US$1600.00. Also, the bike had to go via their regular route which meant travelling about an extra 1000 miles, in a big circle, to wind up crossing the border about 100 miles from where it started from. It sat in one warehouse about 3 weeks. If you have time and money, it will probably arrive safe and sound. I used a company that allegedly specializes in vehicles but it was delivered to my house in a moving van.
