Hi!
I was wondering what is the best solution in the UK for a bike delivery?
I'm looking for the cheapest, but safe way to get a bike delivered from Dumfries, Scotland to Coventry.
What courier company would you recommend?
Thanks.

I'm being nosey cause I'm localish to that area.
What?? FedEx does not do domestic shippings?? Do you have a link for the service? It would be great if it were only 25 for a bike..
I'm buying the bike from a private, not from a shop.
And is there any way (I'm not sure of the integrity of the bike) that I reject the bike if it has any important flaws? Crashes etc.
Thanks again.
" Let the buyer beware". unfort for a private sales you are not covered by the distance selling rule such as say buying from a catalogue. Its your respons to check the bike is fit for purpose and that respect once you part with the cash you are pretty much knackered.
You would have a right under delict which would be governed by Scots Law as you buying from Scotland. It would be very difficult to prove under delict as the loss would be pure economice loss ( I think).
I can double check this for you, but i seriously recommend that you get an inspection of the bike prior to parting with the cash.
I am trying to find a carrier but apparently they don't ship boxes of over 150cm in length?!
I am really having a hard time finding a simple and cheap way of shipping a bike.
If you did this or know something about it, please shout it here!
Thanks!
Why isn't the vendor arranging it? That is usually what happens.... after all, they are the ones who will have to package it.
It's a little awkward to send my money in the seller's account without having received the bike.
What would you do?
Please post a few opinions, I have to see what to do, time is ticking
I don't have a car, so it's a little hard to go all the way to Dumfries. I could go by train, but that's about 80 quid..
Hi,try looking at a haulage company in the Dumfries area,the name Curries seems to be familiar,they may be doing a haulage run from that area to the area where you are living or near by and would be willing to stick the bike in the truck for you for a small fee.Or ring round to the removal firms in your area and see if they are doing any trips up North and may be able to help out as their vans could have some space on board for the return trip.
Or you could get the train or hitch hike up and then cycle back for abit of training.
Best of luck.
