What are my collection and delivery options when using a bike courier?
The shipping and delivery of bikes needs to be approached with care. By selecting a reliable courier service to collect your bikes and transport them safely to their destination, you are ensuring that your bike will be delivered in the same condition it was sent.
When considering a suitable bike courier service, take into account the following:
Package them securely - it is often required to take your bike apart in order to ship it. It's important to safely do this and then add plastic bubble wrap around the frame along with packaging peanuts to fill any empty spaces. Need more guidance? Check out or article on how to ship a bike by courier.
Delivery options - many couriers will deliver bikes as long as the parcel fits within their weight and height dimensions.
