I found a great deal on an S 50. Can anyone recommend a cheap shipper?

Uship rocks!

Read this guys experience and then read the response from the Ushipper starting at post #29 to see how awesome they are.

Be sure to check on-line reviews and the BBB, and other opinion based sites for other stellar and similar experiences. Also be sure to make sure the Ushipper is using a real DOT number and not one they saw on at a truckstop, is a regulated and insured carrier, and also check out the Uship website to see how easy it is to get a hold of Uship customer service and where they're located.

If a whole Uship family shows up, make sure there's enough room for the family's luggage in the back of the pickup, and that they have enough gas money to get home, and where you're shipping the bike.

Is it that good of a deal? Shipping a RARE bike across the country is one thing, but an S50?

I used Eagle One Express for the last two bikes that I shipped. They beat all of the quotes that I received from UShip. First class equipment, good communication and no extra charges for insurance, etc. The quote they will give you covers everything. I recommend them highly.

Here's their website: http://www.eagleoneexpress.com/

Do you think any of them would ship a scooter out of the US?

Daniel, all of these companies are just freight haulers who use large trucks. What you need is a freight forwarding/overseas shipping company. Sorry.

Thanks, just was wondering...
I like to buy an LX50 for my wife but it's impossible to find it here so it has to be imported.
