Obviously someone hasnt checked the great book of trademarks.

For almost a tenner they will transport your bike anywhere in the uk for next day delivery you have to be in to await collection and accept the bike the other end, and they kindly offer 50 quid insurance if you cheapo bike is stolen or lost or even damaged in the hard case bike box you supply.

What a great offer .

Why the ire? Its just another postage option, good value too.

The price is competitive but its hardly good value when you factor in the massive risk [ given next to no insurance] and the need for a hard case

I doubt it will get much use

same as parcelforce, dont they only offer £100 insurance as standard which is equally useless without paying for more. And strictly a full bike box doesnt fit in their ruled, although depots seem more accomodating than post offices.

Looks like someone has had a re-think.

Looking for Bike Magic?
We’ve put the brakes on our bike delivery service but you can still send your luggage using Bag Magic.
