I need to ship a quad from Kentucky to Las Vegas. The cheapest rate I have been able to find is $1500 from DHL. Any ideas on affordable shipping? PM me.
thanks

talk to a freight company. i know people that get cars from maryland to cali for like 600-700 so you should be able to get a bike alot cheaper then that.

hell, for 1500 you could pay a buddy to drive it out.

go to www.forwardair.com you will have to build a crate but from NE to AZ it costs $420 to ship a 450r and another one was a cannondale.

Go to your local dealership, and ask if you can snag one of their ATV crates that they get the new atv's in.

I just shipped a 250r from NJ to Oregon for $607 using a Forward Air crate. Had to remove the wheels though because the crates are only 44.5 inches wide inside.

I might be sending my YFZ over to SC soon and i found a trucker that had room and would take it for $600

and it might got to england after that for $800 on a ship

Austin, Forward Air is cheaper than that. Did you sell it to someone overseas? I hope you're not getting scammed.
