Ahoy. I need to box up my precious bike and send it off to a UK address for it to be fixed. Looking for couriers almost ALL the reviews are horror stories (I know that people only write about great or awful stuff but some of them have a 2 out of 10 rating!). Does anyone here have experience of a good one? It would be much appreciated.....

Paisley Freight have always done ok for me.

I always make sure I box stuff properly, add loads of bubble wrap, brace drop outs etc though.

get insurance.

+1 for Paisley, has always been a TNT lorry to collect.

Box it well.

Sent a few bikes via them, never had an issue.

One un-happy Paisley Freight customer here. They seemed pretty good until it came to handling an insurance claim for damage to the bike in transit. Then not good at all...
