I need to arrange to have a bike collected from the Isle of Man for delivery to mainland UK. Whilst I understood that Parcel Force can do this I can’t get a quote through their website based on weight and box dimensions.

I’ve just heard back from Paisley Freight and they don’t serve IoM so their bike delivery service is out of the question.

Online searching is throwing up some pretty obscure options that I’m not comfortable with so I was hoping someone here might have a reliable suggestions or two.

It’s a boxed bike needing insurance and ideally no longer than 48hr service (anticipating the C-19 issues may slow it down a bit further).

Ta.

If it's suggesting local companies, Manx Independent Carriers are legit. My Dad uses them regularly, they've got a big UK hub in Skelmersdale

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll take a closer look.

The obscure options were sites that post my requirements online for companies to offer quotes. I’ve not seen this before and would far rather get in touch with a company and book the service direct.
