bike collection south yorkshire?

[graffian]

I am thinking of bidding on a bike for sale in South Yorkshire, not got the address yet. I wondered if anyone was up for collecting it and sticking it in a bike box?

Bike boxes are free from the back of your local hafflefrauds, maybe all bike shops bin them, I use them for any packaging I need to do.

I have seen a bike for sale, same as the one I am borrowing at the moment. If
I can organise collection I will buy it. Willing to pay for petrol and stuff.

Have you tried 'Shiply'? I've used this site a few times for 'man in a van' services to collect things I've won off Ebay.

Try Paisley Freight, they charge £21.50 for a push bike.

I have been using them for years for both deliveries to customers and when I buy stuff from far away.
Flat rate over night service. Surely the owner of the buckled wheel and twisted frame bike will shove it in a box for you.
Brave man buying a bike of fleabay without seeing it in the flesh.
My neighbour got severely stung last year.

Seller is not up for boxing it for collection.
Hopefully I will pay less than I was going to pay
for the same frame last week, I got outbid by a quid.

Paisley Freight would still require it to be boxed wouldn't they?

Still if I don't get it, there will always be another one, probably
in Scotland next time;-)
Spose I could get a coach and ride back;-) Yorkshire to surrey it looks all down hill on the map.

You have got me going now.
What frame is it?

 

[StickNtig]

It doesnt have to be boxed, just needs to have the address for delivery on it.

Used Shipley to get a Landy shipped from norwich to Penrith for 260!

Did you have to put it in a box?

 

[madkayaker]

Not but when the shipper asked does it start I said yes and then wondered to my self does it?

bike collection Doncaster

OK I bought it, It's a 94 Marin Team. I paid more
than I expected, but I got it for 30 quid more than
I bid on a frame. So as long as it doesn't cost to much
to collect/ship it's OK.
It's in Doncaster, anyone in Doncaster want to play
postie?

 

[chunkolini]

Marin Team?
Pchtahh.
Cronky old steel thing then.
Give you 50p for it, we all know that steel is just so 90's maaaan.
Good grief. Just fit for choppers.
Pm me regards how much. I know this old junk is becoming valuable.
