Hey guys I'm looking to get a bike shipped from calgary to toronto Canada. Now I've got quotes on shipping the bike as a whole but its like 900$. Now my question is. I've seen lots of you guys shipping your bikes, and breaking the bikes down into three boxes or so? What company would do so?

And yes it is worth it to me to get it shipped (fully built red baron race bike

). And sorry to the mods if this is the wrong section!

i used the canpar rate calculator www.canpar.com, punched in a random calgary postal code, a random toronto postal code, said 3 boxes, total weight 150 lb's and it gave me a cost of $132.01 including tax.
