Super_mil Posted December 12, 2012 Share Hi All, What is the best way to get a bike shipped up to JHB from CT?The bike will be boxed and will weigh in at around 18kgs. What sort of cost would I be looking at? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted December 12, 2012 Share I looked at this a while back and 'time freight' were well priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cippo Posted December 12, 2012 Share Im guessing its not a cheap bike so rather go with a reputable courier to make sure the bike gets there. No point in skimping and the bike never gets there or damaged en route. Edited December 12, 2012 by MCipollini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted December 12, 2012 Share Have used Time Freight plenty and they are reliable, on time and affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques999 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Put it on Mango and let them pick it up at the airport I think you can do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZakAttak Posted December 12, 2012 Share I think that will be a bit difficult, you might have to ship from Cape Town to Durban and then maybe drive it to JHB.... On a lighter note, shouldn't cost much with a courier company.... Time freight very reliable, IMHO.... and reasonable too.... There shipping warehouse is in Montague Gardens Edited December 12, 2012 by Buzzman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Ruinaard Posted December 12, 2012 Share Just done this for a bike that I bought on classifieds in the hub in CTN. Used Cyclelab as I know they are less likely to make a mess and have branches in both regions. hipping from CTN to JHB is R400-00 plus boxing of bike R95-00, and they are re-assembling for me on this side. All nice and easy. You can no doubt get cheaper but this was hassle free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikekid Posted December 12, 2012 Share Ball park figure cost wise for Timfreight? Do they come and collect the box or do you have to deliver to the depot? Just as a matter of interest.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_mil Posted December 12, 2012 Share From the Time Freight site, it'll be R450-00 from CT to JHB or PMB (Online Quote - Door to Door) bikekid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippo Posted December 12, 2012 Share I use to drop off parcels for folks in Kimberley at cargo section of Cpt airport and they would put it on next flight. Not sure if you can still do that. Dad would just pick it up airport in Kimberley. Edited December 12, 2012 by MCipollini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my_intense Posted December 12, 2012 Share I have used DCB Logistics twice to get bikes from Cape Town to JHB and to Maritzburg by road. The boxed weight of 18kgs sounds right and I paid about R180 per bike (uninsured) The company is owned by cyclists and do a lot of work during the Argus event.
