Shipping bike across Canada

I just came back from BC and I really liked their roads... and everything else. I was planning on heading there in the summer for about a month anyways. I guess shipping my bike would cost me less than renting a car for that long. Any recommendations on who to use? How long would they take?
 
Just keep hitting the F5 button until you get the TFX international banner. They use hydraulic lifts and full enclosure. Also door to door which is rare because most others you would have to pay extra for this or bring it to their warehouse but not TFX. When I had my bike shipped to Calgary from Toronto it was snugged in with all the other exotic cars so they are very careful not to scratch or ding your bike.

If I can recall it took them 3 weeks though initially they quoted me 2 weeks but driver was delayed. They'll constantly give you updates or you can call them for the driver whereabouts. It was also in March so maybe the weather had to do something with it. But the driver has to go to every house to drop off the cars so any delays will result in longer delays for others such as waiting for the owner to come home in the evening when he's arrived during the day.

Why not take a couple extra days and ride out?

I might be a titanium butt but there's no way il take my KTM SMC across the prairies.

I wonder if I crate the bike myself, can get away with under $1000 round trip with some general shipping company? TFX is way too fancy. My smc ain't a fancy show bike.
