It only cost $35.50 to mail her to the East Coast and that was priority. As for shipping back your bike, check with the PO and see what the max allowable size that they will allow, they never measured mine. All I heard was that there was a max weight for the gorilla boxes. As for the little bike I am thinking on riding her as a commuter bike to my work on the base, about 4 miles form home to hospital, but will wait until the daylight is longer and the temps a bit warmer. Do take care and stay safe! Thanks for your service as well!Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905314034293927278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095001024190473327.post-33923545281191590442012-12-13T10:09:19.641-08:002012-12-13T10:09:19.641-08:00@ 13mx - Small web, indeed. :)

When she shipped it back home (AFB to East Coast home) Priority rate was only ~$50. If it's a regular, full-sized frame, you may have to disassemble it and pack it in more than one box to meet dimensional limits. Worth inquiring about if you like the bike.<br /><br />When she recently returned home, Mom's bike was one of the last things packed and it arrived at her house just a few days after she did. Last I heard, she was planning to unfold it and test-ride it around town before maybe using it as a commuter once the weather warms up.<br /><br />I'll have Mom read your comment.

I am currently deployed and from the pictures it looks to be the same place your mom is/was deployed. I have acquired a nice mountain bike and I am wanting to ship it home. I'm just checking to see if the cost is reasonable or if I can even ship it back. What does you mom plan on doing with her bike when she comes home?<br /><br />Thanks for the post, and tell you mom I say thanks for what she does. She may have been the one that fixed me up when I got hurt a few weeks ago. Small web huh?
