I've just looked on their website to get a price for posting a complete mtb, i've found a price which just came under 'push bike' for £23.50. but this didn't give any details of max size or weight and it was very general.

so I used the price calculator on there and I got prices from £60 plus.

have any of you sent a full size boxed mtb with them and does it fall within their guidelines of 'push bike' price.

also can joe public book or do you need a business account.

Re:

I have used the bike option with them a couple of times and not had any problems.

You don't need an account, just box it up.

I don't think they run a fleet, just work with established couriers, with some kind of volume arrangement

They very much are just a booking agency operating a organisation of man with a van in the local areas, so is hit and miss on quality and delivery condition.

Re:

I pack things away well so unless a car engine is dropped on it it should be sound.

I was more concerned about maximum dimensions but it just states 'bike delivery'

parcelforce is mega expensive for a mtb boxed so I'll

Re:

I'll second " Send it Now" used them loads of times for bikes/ frames. Useful that i can drop it to their depot as theres never anyone in at home.

Re:

Do senditnow have any size restrictions.

Paisley give you the dimension restrictions just before the final step of booking....just before you make payment. I've used them half a dozen times with no problem ~ cheap and easy.

brilliant that's what I needed.

I wasn't being lazy yesterday as I was in A&E with my young son all day till late so I couldn't investigate their site.
