Whether it's worth it to have your bike shipped in pieces or as a whole unit is up to you. There are pros and cons to each option, so it all comes down to what you're specifically looking for. For the most part, shipping a bike in smaller parts can cost you anywhere from $50-$200. On the other hand, shipping a bike as a whole unit can take up more space in transit, incurring additional fees along the way. So, it really comes down to what you're hoping to gain from shipping your bike in pieces vs. shipping it as a whole unit.
