For all trips, with the exception of the European Phantom Trek, if you plan on having your teen return home by airplane, bus or train you must have their bicycle shipped home. This is a painless task, and is usually easier (and less expensive) then sending the bicycle with your son or daughter. Bike shipment can take place as soon as your son or daughter returns home. Read on for directions to assure proper shipment:1. On the last day of the trip, your teen will work with the leader to disassemble their bicycle and pack it in a bicycle box. Your teen will clearly mark the bike box with their name and your home address.
2. The Trip Leader will call you and tell you the address where the bikes can be picked up and the best times for the shipping company to pick up the bike.
Call the shipping company of your choice and let them know you have a package for shipment. Tell them you would like to issue ground call tags for a bicycle box and let them know the address and pick up times for them to get the box. We recommend FedEx Ground, UPS Ground, or DHL Ground.
