I had 3 motorcycles shipped from Kansas…

I had 3 motorcycles shipped from Kansas City to Gainesville FL. and 2 of the brand new bike were damaged, Now I have to file a claim with federal Transport and shipping. Thanks for breaking a brand new 2016 Honda Goldwing damaged the left mirror and breaking the license plate fender and bending the plate as well. Great job!! NOT !!! I will never recommend your EXPENSIVE services even after I purchase extra insurance I now have to schlepp to Honda and Kymco, get a quote for what the repairs will be, send it all in with pictures and hope you will pay me ...I want to warn the next person with that expensive bike to be forwarned, DON"T USE THESE SHIPPERS UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR EXPENSIVE BIKE RUINED !! Thanks for the head ake you just created for me. Never again! Lousy untrustworthy and EXPENSIVE! My bike was not strapped down correctly as well and I had to help load and unload my bikes as the drivers had no CLUE how to strap them down correctly and yet still my bikes arrived ruined! due to careless and drivers that don't know how to handle a motorcycle let alone a 400cc and 650 cc scooter! I am warning anyone please avoid the head akes that were put on me by this mover! They don't care even about I took out extra insurance to cover any screw-ups and yet they still screwed up everything!

We were very sorry to hear about your recent shipping experience. Unfortunately, damage can occur but does not happen very often. Most bikes arrive in the same condition as they were at time of load. The claims department will be looking into your claim as soon as you can complete the damage claim form and submit a written estimate for repairs. They will also be gathering more information in regards to your statement on their ability of securing & handling of your bikes.

Price competitive

Price competitive. Excellent customer service. Tracking available. Bike arrived on time and in great condition! And since it went diagonally across the country from the Miami area all the way to north of Seattle, that's saying a lot!

a Great experience

my experience was great this time dealing with Federal. It was a pretty seamless experience as the bike was picked up at the sellers business in Florida and delivered to my residence a day earlier than expected. The delivery at my home was great as well as the delivery outfit put the bike on a smaller panel truck so it could be delivered to my residence rather than picking it up at a alternate location that could accommodate a semi. That alone was awesome. The bike was rolled out of the truck and into my garage in pristine condition. The tracking allowed me to know exactly where my bike was during the shipment.

Thank you very much for a uneventful shipping experience. This was my second time shipping a motorcycle within the US with Federal and if I need to do it again I will use Federal without hesitation.

Good experience with Federal.

I have used Federal twice to ship a racing motorcycle from Ohio to California and back. It was a pleasure working with Judy who scheduled the shipping. Both times they were accommodating to my needs. The pick ups were on time and the drop offs as scheduled. My motorcycle suffered no damage on any of the trips. I recommend Federal for your shipping needs.

Federal no showed us

Three days before a cross country move, Federal no showed us. A week before the proposed pickup date I had to call Federal to remind them that I still had no paperwork from them, the representative said that the rep that I was working with was on vacation, subsequently I received the paperwork. After returning the contract to Federal, the local pickup carrier called at about 8:00 pm on the pickup date with a story about a defective lift gate and that they would be back the next day, then they no showed us. Federal dispatch unsuccessfully tried to call them several times for a status update to no avail.
We then called Haulbikes.com and they came out the next day at the time they said they would be there for pickup. Five days later my bike was delivered to our new address in perfect condition.

As a service provider recommended by AMA, I have also filed a complaint with them stating this situation.

Scott, I am extremely sorry to hear about your shipping experience. Federal works with many other STI agents across the United States and normally we do not have this type of service issue. Communication is very important to our company. Checking into your order, it does appear the agent did have lift gate issues which caused the delay, and then they did not communicate with you as they should have done. We did have several conversations with the agent and STI in regards to the lack of service they provided, which ultimately forced you to cancel your order & make other arrangements. I am glad to hear you were able to find another company located near you to load your bike the next day and get it delivered safe & sound. Again, my sincerest apologies.

It looks like this was your 2nd shipment booked thru Federal -- we had shipped 5 bikes for you back in Dec 2018, which to my knowledge, went very well.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Gibbs

TEN STARS and MORE

If I could give Federal Transport TEN stars I would. They made the transport of my husband’s bike from Portland, OR to Austin, TX totally seamless AND affordable. I worked directly with Tessa who feels more like family now than an service provider. The delivery of the bike is a Father’s Day surprise to my husband. I appreciate Tessa helping me make my dream come through. We will not use ANY OTHER transporter in the future. THANKS TESSA and Federal Transport.

Harley Davidson Transport

I recently purchased a 1999 Harley Davidson from Paradise Harley Davidson in Beaverton OR and had it shipped to Harrisburg, PA
Although the motorcycle was damaged in shipping, Judy Gordon w/ Federal in Peoria, IL has made the claims process painless thus far. I have filed a claim w/ Kimberlee at CRST and am hoping the process goes quickly. I'd just like to announce that Judy Gordon is a true professional in every way. My hat is off. Hard to find impeccable service and follow up like that these days. THANKS JUDY !!!! Talk soon.
Respectfully,
Douglas Alan Kirk (FE556700)

Thank you Douglas for taking the time to share your recent shipping experience. We were sorry to hear that your bike sustained some damage during transit. I know you have received your claim form & it has been submitted so hopefully your claim will be settled quickly. It is unfortunate when something happens during transit but notating the damage at time of delivery helps in getting the claim settled in a timely manner. We appreciate the kind words you shared regarding working with Judy Gordon.

Let us know if we can assist you in the future. Thank you.

A great experience with excellent service from true professionals

What a great experience so far. Working with Judy through multiple calls and emails, while I was still on the road. Judy helped me figure out my best options and was even able to modify the final destination for me as weather conditions changed. I live in MN and shipped from TX. Our weather in April can be horrific, and that is what happened at the last minute. Judy was very professional and clear, helping me change my original scheduled pickup from a Federal Loading site in St. Paul, to my home address. Federal is lucky to have people with Judy's knowledge, skill and patience. I'll be shipping again with Federal in the future, no doubt!

Overall great experience!!

My experience with Fun Transport couldn't have been better. The agent was extremely helpful from the time she gave me the quote until the bike was delivered. I received a slew of quotes from other transport companies but there was something about Tessa and Fun Transport that really put me at ease. The bike was picked up within a couple of days after me signing the contract and delivered within about a week which was consistent with what was agreed upon. Actually came two days prior to the date listed. The dealership I purchased from also was impressed with how effective and efficient pick up was.

Thanks to Tessa and the drivers that delivered my bike!!

I strongly recommend Federal Motorcycle Transport.

Federal Motocycle Transport made the somewhat nerve racking experience of shipping a bike easy and pain free. Despite horrible weather, my bike was transported across country and arrived ahead of schedule, in perfect condition and without any intervention from me. Shipping your bike and you want it done right? I recommend Federal.
