Hi everyone. I've been fortunate enough to buy a 1966 Vespa.
It's located in North Carolina and I'm in Arizona. Does anyone have a recommendation or experience with a shipping company that went well? Thanks for your help

I highly recommend motorcycleshippers.com.

They are $699 to ship any scooter or MC anywhere in the 48 states. One price fits all. A little more pricey than some independents, but all they do is ship bikes on bike pallets, and the drivers and delivery folks are experts. Their communication is very good as well and their forms very easy to fill out.

Have used them twice. A+ experiences both times.

I've had good luck with uShip with a couple of bikes and a car but I've also witnessed a horror story on a bike I sold. The driver took the job and showed up with no room for the bike. He strapped it on the very back of a car carrier with a strap across the seat. I took a picture of it and sent it to the buyer so he could deal with it if there were any damage. Ended up the straps cut the seat.

I use https://haulbikes.com/

They shipped a Vespa from Arizona to the Bay area for me last year. I've also used them for shipping antique motorcycles in the past.

Before arranging the shipment, do you have any photos of the scooter to show us?? I hope you haven't bought a Viet-bodge...

Welcome to MV, Ragecycles!

I second Haulbikes. They shipped a bike from Seattle to Phoenix with nary an issue and excellent communication.
