Shippingmasters negotiates with numerous motorcycle shippers who
have fairly dynamic schedules. After booking, please
consult the actual shipper of your bike regarding pick up and delivery
schedules. Shippingmasters does not track shipments after booking.

Shippingmasters collects a down payment on each shipment we book. The
shippers we negotiate with know that once a customer places a down
payment and has been referred to them by
Shippingmasters, the customer has made a commitment to ship and has
been informed of the shippers rate and terms.
Return to top
A refund of the Shippingmasters down payment will be considered if a
request for refund is made within 48 hours of booking a shipment with
Shippingmasters. Whenever Shippingmasters issues a down payment
refund, $25 is withheld from ANY and ALL refunds to cover
processing fees. If you are not satisfied with a shipper we have
referred you to or have other reasons to switch shippers or cancel a
shipment, upon your request we will provide other quotes for you to
consider. Your original Shippingmasters down payment will apply toward
other shippers for a period of one month. The rates, terms, and down payment amount of other
shippers will likely vary from those of the original shipper we
referred you to.

A refund of the Shippingmasters Payment and/or Title Transfer fee will

Shippingmasters does not provide any insurance coverage for your
shipment, the shippers we refer you to carry various levels of
insurance coverage and are responsible for your bike once
you book your shipment with them. Basic shipper insurance information
is noted on each quote we provide. You are responsible to inspect the vehicle for damage at time of delivery and submit any claims to the shipper at that time. Claims submitted after delivery will not be considered.

The shippers we negotiate with do not want to transport extra parts.
Some shippers will allow a small box of extra parts. There
might be an extra charge for transporting extra parts.
Shippingmasters does not guaranty a shipper will transport extra parts
and does not quote any additional fee amounts for
extra parts. If the
shipper allows a reasonable amount (as determined by
the shipper) of personal/spare items to be sent with
the vehicle, those items are not covered by the
shippers insurance and the shipper does not take
responsibility for those items. Spare items must be
properly packaged prior to pick up. The shippers
driver has the final authority to determine if spare
items will be transported or not at the time of pick
up. It is your responsibility to discuss any spare
items with Shippingmasters at time of booking and with
the shipper prior to pick up.
Return to top
Some shippers require you to drain the gas and/or disconnect the
battery prior to shipping. If bike preparation is required it
will be noted in your quote. You are responsible to have someone
available to meet the shipper for pick up and delivery.
Return to top
Shippingmasters quotes one price and guaranties that the rate quoted
includes all fees for shipping your bike based on the accuracy of
the information you provide on your quote request, there are no hidden
charges. The shipper we refer you to that provides the actual
transport of your bike is responsible for determining the delivery
schedule and providing you with the schedule information
relative to your shipment. Shippers do their best to meet the
timeframes listed in our quotes, and in the vast majority of shipments
they do, but the delivery timeframes listed in our quotes are
estimates and are not guaranteed. Traffic, road construction,
mechanical failures, prior and en-route bookings, and weather conditions can all have an affect on the amount of time it takes
to deliver your bike.
Return to top
Shipping rates are determined by a number of factors. Some of these
factors include distance traveled, size of the bike, weight of
the bike, fuel surcharges, insurance surcharges, etc. You are
responsible to determine if your bike fits within the size and weight
limits noted on the various shipping options Shippingmasters provides.
Bikes that exceed size and/or weight limits listed in our quotes may
be subject to additional fees and/or might not be able to be transported.

If you use the terminal to terminal container shipping option and do
not drop off or pick up your bike at the shipping terminals per a
predetermined schedule, you will be charged a $50 per day storage fee.
