I've never tried FA, but Bikes Across America shipped my bike from Texas to SoCal for a little bit less than $400, door-to-door. Not bad.

Right here... I have used these guys many times. they can both palatize or fully crate a bike from door to door, they use all new hardware when shipping. you really only need the palatize option unless your shipping a very expensive bike. the best thing... is the shipping is all covered, no flat beds or exposed trailers.
