Bike delivery
Hello all
I got myself a bike on flea bay last weekend. It's in Kent and i'm in Herts. Picking it up might be a problem - the seller is not that available so we're struggling to find a mutual day and time to collect it. It might be better for me to pay someone with a van to pick it up. Can anyone make any recommendations before I resort to the yellow pages? Cheers in advance Mary |

Re: Bike delivery
Is it taxed?
Can you get it insured for 7 days cheap and ask a mate to ride it home for you? |

Re: Bike delivery
i will look out the details of the company i used when i get home.
I bought my bike 3 years in Stafford and had it shipped up to Scotland. I phoned the company on the Wednesday night about 5 ish. Bike was picked up Thursday morning at 11 and I had it delivered Friday evening at 5. If i remember correctly then it cost me £189. Much cheaper than hiring a van, fuel etc ot getting a train then fuel etc.

Re: Bike delivery
My bike was 88 miles away in Derby.
It wasn't taxed(I'm presuming yours will be), so had to find a Post Office pretty sharpish, naughty naughty really. I'd insured it the week before, and the dealer had the MOT. My other half got on a train, and picked it up for me. Is there any reason why you couldn't do this?
