Do Honda Watford not have any couriers? They probably do. The dealer I bought my bike from offered delivery to your door for £99 via a courier.

Is that Lloyd Cooper (Watford Honda)?

I'm quite near them, but I'm not planning any trips up north I'm afraid! I can always collect and store it until you are ready to pick it up if thats of any help!?

I can probably do it sometime between Thursday and Sunday - but might need to leave delivery from Keighley to Bolton to another day as going to be knackered with all the travelling as it is.

I'll have to have a look and see how far our of my way, etc, it is.

[ollieholt]

cheers for that G, we have put it on shiply to have a look at prices if below £100 notes he is going to go for it, wouldn't want to put you out your way.

keighley is about 40-50 miles from bolton. if we need to use you G i will give you some beer token just let me know how much you would want, ill see what we get back off shiply.

cheers everone, oh and the dealer (lloyd cooper) wanted £245! ripping the piss seen as we are buying a new bike off them! anyway...

cheers for help will update.

I used a company to ship a 500 from the south coast to Preston, for £100, could probably dig out a phone number?

If you list on shiply and uship then don't waste your time putting a different "target price" and "maximum price" - the majority of the rascals that replied to mine all pegged their bid at the maximum price, presumably because they know everyone else will do it as well.

Shiply lets the people bidding on your job big against each other - so they can see all the other bids and bring their's to be the lowest if they want.

Seems to work and I've used them in the past - of course as with ebay etc, you're still getting a random person/company to deal with.

[ollieholt]

well bidding has started! £140 was the first offer, shall see what we get by close of play tomorrow.
