I purchased a bike from the east coast. He has a extra in frame battery and wants to ship it but is having a hard time doing it. Does anyone know the process and who does it?

They don't ship batteries separately, only if its in the frame of the bike.

Try going to a FedEx or UPS store and ask them.....

I am in the same boat, I need to travel internationally with an ebike. The only thing I have come up with is to have a battery in each region which could get pricey but possibly less than the cost of shipping.

Ground only, no Hawaii or Alaska only domestic. No international... that leaves me out since I travel from Hawaii to Alaska and International.

I looked into this a few years ago, and actually Plan on shipping myself a battery for a trip this year. You can ship a battery, anywhere on the planet, it will cost you though.

Go to UPS, FedEx, etc and ask what the process is for shipping a battery. I believe, if i recall, it has to be out of charge, and the contacts have to be covered with tape. They also have to mark the box as having Lithium in it.

I think they told me around $100 to ship anywhere in the US for like 600wh and maybe $200 to ship internationally, but it can be done. Just ask an actual UPS employee, not a store employee as those places are franchised.
