I have three AirCaddys and have used shipbikes.com several times.
The AirCaddy is only meant to be used 5-6 times before it reaches the end of its first life. You can send it back after those uses and have it recovered at nominal cost. That having been said, it's pretty darn solid, but one caveat - these boxes are huge and not easily fit into a standard size sedan.
Shipbikes.com is essentially the corporate FedEx acct of Lickton's in Oak Park, IL. Beauty of shipbikes is that you can pay and print labels online.
I've taken advantage of this by shipping empty Colorado Cyclist clamshell cases to a seller, having them pack the case and ship the bike back to me, all with preprinted labels for the return trip. All the seller has to do is affix the label, pack the bike and call FedEx for pickup (or take to a local FedEx office).
Did this a couple years ago with an Indy Fab. Cost of shipping the empty box from the midwest to NYC, then return trip with the bike inside, was less than $100 roundtrip.
