Oh I definitely have written proof of the bid being made as an enclosed trailer transport. I will be sure to take pictures of the bike when it arrives if it is in the back of the truck. If not then they will have moved it during the trip.

 

It might be on an enclosed truck?! Jus' teasin'! Hope the bike's fine when it arrives.

 

Good luck! I would def. say something. If you have proof it's supposed to be enclosed like you say then get the bike and negotiate with the shipper. Because that is not right. If he couldn't stick with what the bid was then he should've never took it. So it's his fault if he loses money, not yours.

 

I'll be looking for you on that show "Shipping Wars". I want to see you punch out that old long hair hippy Roy.

 

Read the feedback on the net about uship, it's horrible.

 

I would wait for it to arrive and if it is in good shape I would take delivery of it with pictures. You actually got what you paid for. your bike delivered. However if it states enclosed trailer in writing I would contact the company after delivery and voice your opinion in a civil manner and if they don't offer you something to make you happy I would let it be known that you are a member of quite a few motorcycle forums on the internet and will have to share the fact that when dealing with this company you may not get what you are told you will get.

 

Ya, I wasn't impressed with UShip. I recently bought a bike and had to have it shipped from Iowa to FL. There was a quote cost to ship along with a quote number listed on the eBay auction from 3 different shippers. UShip was the lowest but when I contacted them and gave them the quote number they said it was just an estimate. Well, they were off by over $200! Some estimate. I went with a different carrier that had a better rep.

As far as your situation goes, first lets just hope your bike is just fine. If it is on the back of a truck, I would snap a picture of it that way and then take it up with UShip. You can also leave poor feedback on the shipper after the fact if they do not make things right. Overall, as long as the bike is in good shape I would give them a nuetral review.

 

So, what's the verdict?

 

inquiring minds need to know.

 

He's in jail....
