I’ve got my eye on a bike on eBay that is too far to travel for.

The seller originally stated collection only but has now said they would wrap it up for collection by a courier at my risk.

Would any courier expect it to be boxed?

Any suggestions who to get a price from ?

Thanks

You could use Paisley Freight. A bike box is £18 I think (total delivery is around £45 depending on the level of insurance required). They would deliver the bike box to the seller for you. He could then pack it up and they return a day or two later to pick up the bike.

I've recently used Cyclesent to post a bike. They collect one day and deliver the next for £25+insurance (varies depending on the value of the bike, I paid £20 to insure it for £750). You do need to have the bike packed in a standard size bike box though

Another paisley freight user. Used them loads and never had issues. Always opted for the bog standard service although I wouldn't have had any/Much come back if there were any issues.
