How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping
- Personal items
Many people assume that since their personal items do not fall off when riding their motorbikes then they won’t come off when shipping. Well, that is far from the truth. During shipping, machines lift the motorbikes onto the shipping containers and in the process, your personal items may fall off. Not only that but also there is a lot of vibration when the shipping truck is in transit and the items may fall off and get damaged or lost. It is therefore wise to remove them before shipping.
- Keep records
This is a smart move especially with your motorcycle shipping insurance on the line. You need proof of the extent of damages (if any) on your motorbike before the shippers transport it. It is important to note that the shippers will make their own records on the pick-up day. Ensure that their records match yours. Photos are the best way to maintain uniformity.
- General Maintenance
The trick is to make sure that your motorbike is in perfect condition to the extent that the shippers notice its glow. There is no doubt that they will give it extra care since you have set the pace for them in terms of handling standards.
What to look for in a motorcycle shipping company
- Privacy
Ensure that the shipping company respects your privacy when it comes to the personal information you give them and the item you need to be delivered.
- Experience
Look for a company that has dealt with shipping motorcycles for about 10 years or more.
- Credibility
Does the shipping company actually exist or are you being set up for a con? Look into their licences and operating authority. Ensure that they have the legal right to operate in Westmont and the city you need to transport your motorcycle to.
