Best Carrier/Shipper
Who is the most reliable shipper for a bike frame today? Shipping in continental US.

BikeFlights or PirateShip, both use UPS.

I don't understand how this works - how does adding a "middleman" reduce the price?

Corporate rates are cheaper

Insurance amount?
When bikeflights first started biz, they recommended putting a minimal/small amount of insurance(vs full value) no matter value of bike, wheels etc. Claimed as long as it was insured for something they would be able to go to battle for you if something unplanned happened in transit. THings always went smooth so never found out if this worked.
Any experience here with recommended amount of insurance relative to value of contents? |

They're all mostly fine, just insure who you ship with.

BikeFlights, because if something goes wrong you'll have them working for you and on your side against the shipping company.

I had good luck with BikeFlights, incl. changing the delivery address after the postage was paid for.

BikeFlights offers more comprehensive support for shippers of frames. PirateShip: you're on your own with insurance.

Piling on for BikeFlights. They shipped a bike for me a while back, UPS mauled it, and I got full value for the damage in just a short period of time. I wish all businesses were this solid.

Twice when the shipper(Both FedEx, they now use UPS), smashed up some wheels, FedEx instantly said, 'Denied', but BF covered them(with $) in a matter of hours..Great company..
