Who has come across as the best shipper of motorcycles?

I saw the list on the info page and just want to get rider's opinions on who did the best job.

I moving back to New England so those that want to say ride it there, you can come and get all my belongings and bring it there for me...

We've used 800 HAUL BIKES a couple of times with good results.

No need to palletize, they load and strap down, also have a lift to load them in the trailer.

(when I bought the K1100 / EML it showed up in an Atlas van line truck with no lift, had to get a roll back wrecker, roll the bike off the truck onto the wrecker, then lower it to the ground with the wrecker )

I used them before - not door to door - you have to go to their freight dock and put bike into container.
