Bike transport services?

Posted on
  • I've just bought a bike on eBay that I'll need shipped from Wrexham to London. I'm looking at different companies offering bike transport, but wondered if there's suggestions or ideas to be had here.

    I've checked out sendbike.com, but every time I go on the page some assistant pops up and says that they normally charge £75 for their service, but that they can offer me a special discount today. All seems very fishy and isn't very trust inducing.

    Any advice?

  • This virtual assistant on sendbike.com is quoting me all kinds of different prices every time I go on their page. I pointed out that operating with an artificial full price like this is illegal practice, and they have now decided to not offer me any discounts anymore. Even though they quoted me £60 half an hour ago, the price I'm offered is now £80.

  • give Shiply a go, usually way cheaper than that. I've had lots of furniture collected and a guy had a bike collected from me with Shiply. always been pretty good and you can get it sorted fast

  • Thanks for that, I might be shipping another bike in a few days.

    I ended up going with bikedelivery.co.uk, which was £25 for
    the transport, plus another £15 for the box. I also paid £4 to have the box delivered with bubble wrap for packaging. Box is already dispatched, and I could choose collection day myself.

    I'll update on how it goes.
