dicki's delivery / collection service

Is your Ebay seller trying to royally rip you off with postage costs ?
Are you suddenly unable to collect your ebay purchase due to unforseen cirumstances ?
Can't wait to get your grubby mits on that new Campy crank ?
Well fear not Dicki's Collection Service (TM) is now up and running.

I am willing to travel the country to collect bits and bobs for the payment of my transport costs. Train fares / bus fares / etc

Did a mission up to Birmingham to collect a bike for a very reasonable £30 this weekend. Club together and get two or three bits collected from whereever and share the costs.

European Missions also considered !!

Let me know if I can be of assistance

damn good idea buddy.

Dicki rides the rails couriering bike parts from all over the country.

As your just doing it for cost I cannot see it being much fun unless the bikes are complete/running and in your size.

I might aswell add, Im happy to grab bits (even parts/incomplete bikes) from Birmingham if you get me a train ticket to london. About £20 on Chiltern.

Thats a lovely idea! Works well for all parties, nice one DIcki!

i was thinking about hopping on freight trains at my local station
hook up with some hoboes and play some harmonica !! one leg hanging out of the carriage

I was Dicki's first customer - a recent pulmonary embolus restricted travel for a while and D came galloping to the rescue to pick up a Ti Raleigh 531 from Brum for me. He's reported on his adventures in another post - the bike arrived safely and is now being stripped for further action.

Thanks again D - it was good to meet you - great service!

A train ticket would cost me £22.

You make any profit doing this?

What's the earliest you could go?

Have you got a tandem dicki? I need to get to Burnham on Crouch tomorrow evening and then get home from Hoo on Saturday. Would I get discount if I peddled too?
