I'm buying a couple of older bikes from a guy near Atlanta. I'm going to drive down and get them if I have to, but was wondering if anybody knew a reliable motorcycle shipper? The bikes are near Atlanta and need to get shipped to Annapolis. Thanks

Have you thought about www.uship.com?!...

Just make sure they have insurance...

Be very careful with Uship. they are a booking service and do nothing to vet their haulers. I bought a boat, booked freight through Uship, the hauler picked it up and has never delivered it and Uship says it is not their problem.

WOW... Where's the boat now?!... I would have thought this warranted a trip to the local FBI office (interstate business)...

I'm getting bids through uship now. Some of the bidders have a lot of feedback so I thought I'd be ok. Rocket- did your shipper have a lot of feedback? I'm really starting to wonder after reading your post what I should do. Thanks

Mine had 7 feedback comments. I have also used Uship and had a good experience, so it is the shipper, not the site. I would make sure any deposit is small, that you do not pay until the goods arrive, and I would consider insuring the cargo.

What kind of bikes and where just outside Atlanta? I am just outside of Atlanta and have been on the dirtbike side of riding a long time. Long shot but might know of your seller. Also you could ask Frank Mole transportation about backhauling on an empty run. That guy just brought my b-25 from Maine to Atlanta and he was great and affordable. Todd

I have also used Uship for a few of my classic cars. Has worked out well. I actually had my Ford Think shipped via Uship about a year ago with no issues. Very cheap and the guy fit it in the back of a Dodge sprinter. LOL

if you use uship make sure your dealing with the hauler not a broker they suck!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the advice. Based on the advice, I'm only considering bids from actual haulers (not brokers) with lots of current, positive feedback.
