We have a long bicycle (www.schlickcycles.com) that is best shipped with the rear wheel on due to the internal rear hub. Packing and boxing a bicycle is a pain. Finding a shipper that was going to our general location worked out perfect. We were able to ship a nearly complete bicycle without the hassle of packing and boxing, the bicycle buyer doesn't need to unpack everything and dispose of all the shipping materials, and the shipper gets more money for their trip. UShip provided a great service to us.
