BikeFlights.com has announced that a new blue bike shipping box is now available for ‘conveniently, safely and affordably shipping bikes of many types’. The new blue box features the same internal suspension design as BikeFlights.com’s cardboard bike shipping box released last summer, but it is made of Coroplast for improved water resistance, increased strength and more durability.
“Our new blue bike shipping box is great because it lasts for more shipments than a cardboard box,” said William Alcorn, BikeFlights.com’s Owner. “We’re also proud to be working with Garten Services to distribute our new blue box.”
Garten Services is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports people with disabilities in their effort to contribute to the community through employment, career and retirement opportunities. Garten is handling box storage and order fulfilment for BikeFlights.com.
At 43 x 11 x 32 inches (110 x 28 x 82 cm), the box meets shipping and airline size restrictions. It’s self-locking flap design eliminates the need for external straps and fasteners. Users simply seal the box with standard packing tape. When not in use, the box collapses flat to save space and store easily.
Like the cardboard box, the new blue box meets drop and shake standards per the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) Vibration and Shock (Test type 1A). It comes with protective fork and frame dropout spacers.
Blue bike boxes are available for customers within the US to purchase in BikeFlights.com’s online store. They sell for US$199.95 plus US$20 flat rate ground shipping.
