I agree with you but that's not the reason for my request. We already tear down and pack our bikes into Trico cases for shipment and then have to reassemble them on our return. Got that down pat!

We prefer to ship our bikes by UPS or Fed-Ex to a bike shop who will hold our case until our arival and then be responsible for shipping the empty case to our destination. It makes sense to allow the shop to earn something for their logisitcal support and it doesn't hurt to support a small business. Also for just alittle more than the cost of checking the bike case onto the plane, I can UPS the case to a shop and pay the shop for assembly!

So any advice on a shop in Sacramento would still be apprciated.
