Do have some experience in this area, and I agree with the other posters - if the bikes are old and not in the high-end price range, you're better off getting new ones here. If you do want to ship them, most high-end bike shops will give you a bike carton, just for the asking. Then you'll have to take your bike apart (remove handlebars, seat, peddles, etc.) and wash everything very carefully especially if you're moving from a Gypsy-moth area. Then take to FedEx or UPS or have them pick up. Shipping should run $35-$50 each plus insurance.
