I just went through this, make sure they know how long the bike is, many have restrictions on the length, ask about how many times the bike will transferred, each time there is a risk of damage. How it is loaded and strapped down. Try to find one that will box it up in front of you, do not allow them to take it to the company for crating do "door to door" delivery. I wouldn't wait on USHIP I received my first quote 2 days after the bike was delivered by the seller. The shipping anxiety prevented me of buying anything that required shipping. The seller delivered my Wolf from PA.
