Bike Shipping - Recommendations?

Hello,

I am going on an Adventure Cycling tour starting and ending in
Jackson, Wy in mid-August. I need to find a good way to ship a
mountain bike there and back.

I have access to a bike case courtesy of the of the local bike club so
that part is handled.

From the FedEx web site it appears that there is no customer drop-off
location in Jackson. On the other hand, UPS does have a company
staffed location but I have heard that they are more expensive than
Fedex because of the oversize charge..

Have any of you ever used one of the bike shipping services like
Sports Express or ShipBikes.com?

Any other suggestions?


Thanks,

Steve

I like FedEx much better than UPS.

Dave,

Thanks for the pointer. I wonder why I didn't see this on their web
site?
