I have been told by several folks that shipping directly to a shop is better because they are just used to handling those size packages. I would have inquired about sending it to a hotel but we are staying with a friend while in Portland...said friend lives in a neighborhood that has had packages stolen from porches (not something I wanted to risk) Also...we are talking about 4 good size bikes with racks, fenders and such! We are sending boxes of goodies elsewhere but they are normal size boxes...

Have not thought of that one...will have to check on that!
Thanks for all the inputs
