Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 2,159 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently find the process of scheduling and shipping bikes to be easy and straightforward, appreciating the clear communication and tracking updates provided throughout the journey. Many highlight the competitive pricing, often significantly lower than other shipping options, making it a cost-effective solution for transporting bikes and related items. The service is frequently described as exceptional, with bikes arriving safely and often ahead of schedule, even for international shipments. However, some customers also noted issues with unexpected surcharges, particularly when box measurements were deemed inaccurate by carriers like UPS, leading to increased costs. A few other people also felt that product handling could be improved, citing instances of damaged boxes or missing items upon delivery, despite careful packing. Additionally, some experienced delays or difficulties with pick-ups and address verification, sometimes due to carrier issues or changes in label delivery methods.

Incredible follow up

Incredible follow up. The bike shop that I had packing the bike and using as the pick up location where a little slow. Your team followed up with the bike shop, and helped facilitate the process

Awesome!

The website was straightforward, instructions including alternatives were clear, and the shipping service was exceptional. We looked at alternatives as this was the first time shipping a bike and landed on Bikesflights. Look no further. Couldn't be happier with what we were trying to do and how it came about.

Great experience

Great experience. Dropped off on Monday arrived on Friday across country. Advice for others, take the derailleur off the hanger and zip tie it to the stay with chain even if you leave the back wheel on. I managed to somehow twist hanger even though the back wheel stayed on and the box was not damaged.

Hi Steve,

We’re sorry to hear you feel this shipment took longer than expected.

To clarify the timeline, your label was created on 5/7 and the shipment was tendered on 5/12. In cases where a package is dropped off or made available at a retail location rather than a scheduled carrier pickup, the timing of when the item is handed to UPS depends on the logistics arranged between the shipper and the store, including whether a specific pickup date was scheduled.

Once UPS received the package, it moved through transit and was delivered within the estimated delivery window provided at checkout.

We understand how the full end-to-end timeline can feel longer when accounting for the time before carrier handoff. However, the actual transit time was within the expected range.

We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to clarify the process.

Belmont Wheelworks was fantastic

Belmont Wheelworks was fantastic. They boxed the bike and highly recommended bikefligtlht, speaking positively of their reliability. Bike fight. Delivered one day early!! Bikeflight did a great job. Thank you

BikeFlights…buyer beware

I have been a customer of BikeFlights for years but they have lost my business and to make others aware of there new practice of quoting a rate then hitting there customers with an additional charge based on alleged errors in measurements. They attempted to say that I provided incorrect measurements of my box but did not realize that I took pictures .of the actual measurements of the box.
Justin Barr at support@bikeflightsclaimed that the box was 3 inches longer then my stated length and that the “carrier” imposed this charge. Once i responded with photo documentation he simply dismissed my request saying there is nothing he can do. Clearly this is BIkeFlights attempt to take advantage of there customers in a challenging shipping market. These types pf practices are disgusting and a breach of trust of what used to be a good company. Shame on BikeFlights, there are better companies out there that stand by their service and train there people better.

Hi Richard,

We're sorry to hear that this experience left you feeling disappointed.

To clarify, the additional charge was not generated by BikeFlights, but rather by the carrier following a package dimension audit. When a carrier records dimensions that differ from those entered during booking, they may apply an adjustment based on the audited measurements.

After reviewing your concerns and the documentation provided, we ultimately issued a refund as a courtesy. We also communicated that, when measuring packages for shipment, any fractional inch must be rounded up in accordance with carrier requirements to help avoid future adjustments.

We understand that unexpected charges can be frustrating, and we regret that this situation impacted your confidence in our service. We appreciate your years of business and wish you the best with your future shipping needs.

Damaged bike

Bike arrived damaged and box was clearly crushed. The claims process was adequate although they did nothing about the missed cycling event and extended period without my bike. Moreover, when they asked about my preferred reimbursement method I told them to Zelle me. Instead, they sent it via PayPal and I still don't have my money. UPDATE: I changed my review from two stars to four given the improved handling of the claim and resolving the payment issue. Their customer service is admirable.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry that your bike arrived damaged and understand how disappointing it must have been to miss your cycling event and be without your bike while the claim was being resolved.

While we're glad we were able to process your claim and provide reimbursement for the damage, we recognize that compensation cannot make up for the inconvenience and lost opportunities caused by the shipment issue.

Regarding the reimbursement method, we apologize for the confusion. We understand there was an issue with the initial payment method, but we're pleased that we were ultimately able to get the reimbursement squared away through Zelle as requested.

We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to assist with the claim, and we're sorry that this shipment did not go as planned.

Box size

Box size, weight limits and overall costs make this service less helpful. I found the entire process awkward. I, like most I suspect, have a bike shop box my bike. Therefore, all the variables that impact this process are out of my hands.
