When i searched for shippers on my own, the cost was more than my bike is worth, but when I used Uship, I had many offers to ship at a great savings. The first bid I accepted turned out to be a no-call-no-show, but it cost me nothing but a time delay. The second bid I accepted at the same price was very proactive and got my bike to me at a saving of about$1000; it was shipped across country for only $400!
