Shipping with “Thru”
I met these guys at MADE and it could be a great option especially if you are shipping something rare, high dollar, etc. Alternately, if you’re like me and don’t like dealing with prepping a bike for shipping, this is an option.
Yes, I know, not cheap but shipping stuff FedEx, et al has become spendy and these guys only remove pedals and leave the rest intact.
No affiliation, blah, blah…
BTW - they *may* ship to/from the Dakotas, MT and WY. Contact them to see if they can accommodate.

So they only ship overland via truck? I wonder how many bikes they pack in?

They claim to have a specific racking system and use their own vans to transport bikes. Even at $250/per, the profits seem slim even if they can carry 20 bikes per load but I isn’t a logistics guru.

At $250 across the U.S., I'd definitely consider this an option. I've got several bikes I've been intending to sell, but I really don't want to go through the trouble of packing a complete bike for shipment, and I'm not sure it would come out any cheaper if I paid someone else to pack it.

I see the poster says their system enables "manufacturers" to deliver bikes to customers. Will they work with private parties?
