They get better rates because they ship on low volume days... Its not profitable for airplanes or trucks to fly/drive empty so shippers give discounts on those routes to fill up empty space. I've used bikeflights myself and found it to be marginally less expensive then FedEx. Bikeflights 'add-on' fees run up the bill.....
But this isn't about bikeflights....
Its about a frame damaged in shipping..... I'll withhold any additional comments simply because pertinent information is missing from this thread.
