For reasons I’m not going into, I can’t travel to collect a bike that has just appeared on my radar that I’ve been looking out for a very long time. It’s fair to add I’m not going to be able to do it for quite some months either, so I can’t really defer this and hope to be able to do it in a wee while.

Bikes in Bristol, I’m in Surrey, it’s not an expensive bike.

anyone recommended a company / reputable independent to do both the pickup and delivery to me ? I’ve done this before for a motorbike, but the guy I used doesn’t do it anymore and it would have been quite expensive for a push bike.

its rubbish timing, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

Edited the post three times now and it won’t retain the update, outstanding.

Put the info into Shiply.com and you will get a range of prices as couriers bid for the job, along with reviews.

I've not used them for bikes but I have for furniture (dresser, 6 dining chairs) and been very happy with the service.

Shiply - I’ve only used them once a few years ago and it was a complete pita.
