Used them numerous occasions for bikes, frames, alloys wheels and van tyres. They’re just the booking agent, in the past it’d been DPD and APC who’ve actually collected from me. Option for full value insurance too and not badly priced.

Your friendly bike shop owner may have a contract with a freight company and might send it for you....

+1 for Paisley. Their service is delivery next day after collection too, and can even sell you a bike box & bubble wrap. Used them twice very recently, no issues. You just need to print your own labels though.

Boxed bike is £23.99 and £500 of insurance is about £15.

I sent a fat bike by parcel force (xl parcel) for just shy of £45 on a 48 hr service with full insurance.

Another +1 for paisley freight, I've sent and received bikes through them, faultless service every time.
