Rip off company not really geared to transport bicycles.
I bought a bike which was delivered to me in a bike box which I kept as I wanted to sell my old bike and it may need posting. I sold the old bike and asked my wife to book a courier on a Monday as I was working. My wife said booking was easy with a company claiming to be dedicated bicycle couriers, and the price seemed reasonable at £25.99. I packed the bike in the box the new bike had come in - it fitted comfortable in the box with minor dismantling. The bike was collected on Tuesday by a pleasant driver who said nothing about the size of the box and loaded it into the van. The following day I receive an email saying the box doesn't comply with their measurements, and they won't deliver until I pay another £40! They now have the bike and won't refund me if I ask for it to be brought back to me so I am forced to pay the money. Looking back at the packaging requirements, they want you to pack the bike in a box too small for almost all adult bikes. This requires major dismantling of the bike, and a struggle to get all the components into the box. They also encourage you to buy their 'custom packaging'. I encourage anyone wanting to send bicycle to avoid this company, and use one that take bikes in a box that actually fits the bike. Also beware of the thinly veiled overcharging policy this company follows. I note they are advertised online under a number of different names, so take care when choosing a bike courier!
