Bike delivery service?

[Clone]

Hey,

Does anyone know of a company that will pick a bike up and drop it off for a price? I'm looking at my first 125 on ebay but would need it delivered - any ideas?

Cheers.

[strag]

Yup, google

Dependant on your age it can work out cheaper to hire a van and go and get it yourself
Just take straps so you can fasten it down so it doesnt fall over in the back.


Alternatively ask in your local region forums down the bottom if someone could take you pillion for beer money + petrol

Of course if you are in lands end and buy a bike from john o groats it may be a bit impractical

Or you could always join a breakdown/recovery service and have an untraceable fault on the bike. But that would not be very ethical now would it.

Something tells me that the OP was after recommendations from experience, not someone saying "g00Gle L0lz0r".

I used https://www.motorcycledeliveryuk.co.uk/index.html just 2 weeks ago. Absolutely great and very reasonable. Anywhere in UK to anywhere in UK for £125. Awesome guy runs it, sorts everything out for you. Highly recommended.

Id do it if it was somewhere in my general area, im broke and could do with work.

Try https://www.agservices.org.uk , I've used them twice now and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

[Clone]

Thanks mate, how much did you pay? I may give him a phone if i can get the bike.

[ms51ves3]

I'd be wary about getting a bike delivered off ebay if you haven't viewed it first. Worst thing you want is a pile of junk being delivered to your door and no way of getting it back to the owner for a refund etc etc.

If you're going to get it delivered you need to view it first to be 100% sure it's advertised correctly.

ag services are very good

ag services? are they the guys from conningsby?

[Clone]

i see what you are saying mate about viewing but there is a black one that i am buying from someone on autotrader for £1000 looks nice and asking for lots of pics and asked him to be honest with me. He lives 200+miles from me so can't really go down and view it

[McJamweasel]

Give Jeremy at www.learner-rider.co.uk a call, we've used him a few times at work and he is a sound bloke with top service.

What people are saying is,
No matter how many pictures he takes,
if theres a problem with it, cosmetically say he wont take a pic of that, or can doctor the pic to reduce how bad it looks,
or what if its got a mechanical problem, you wont know until its at your house and it blows up on your drive now will you,
The internet is also full of liers when it comes to money im afraid.

It may be cheaper to hire a van for a day or 2 days.

[sunnydevon-2008]

i used this company cost me £130 and only took 2 days for them to deliver it to my door step from ringing up and they phoned me twice a day to tell me where they are and how long they will be etc and that the bike is fine

[Jockey]

Clone, you don`t say where you are, that would help things a great deal, and where from and where to.-Jockey.

Thanks for the replys

Jokey - it's from Birmingham to Kilmarnock ( Scotland )

Think i'm going to give this company a ring - https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Motorbike-Motorcycle-Quad-Delivery-Collection-Courier_W0QQitemZ380013648933QQihZ025QQcategoryZ317QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

£99 for anywhere in the uk seems a fair price

What do you think?

[Clone]

The company above are on strike in Scotland for 2 weeks so won't be using them atm.

I have phoned lerner-rider and A&G services but got no answer yet.

Edit: can't find anywhere cheaper than £165
